a piece of fabric for a quilt design is in the shape of a parallelogram. the bas is 5 inches and the height is 3.5 inches. what is the total area of the 25 parallelogram pieces needed for the quilt

Sagot :

Let's find the area of one parallelogram piece.

Formula:

[tex]\sf~A=bh[/tex]

Plug in what we know:

[tex]\sf~A=(5)(3.5)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]\sf~A=17.5[/tex]

This is the area of one parallelogram piece, so multiply by 25 to find out the area of the entire quilt.

[tex]\sf~A=17.5\times25\rightarrow\boxed{\sf437.5}[/tex]
Area per parallelogram = 5 x 3.5
Area per parallelogram = 17.5

You have 25 of those parallelograms, so
17.5 x 25 = 437.5 in^2
