The figure shows a parallelogram inside a rectangle outline: What is the area of the parallelogram?

Answers:
(Please choose an answer out of these four, not one that's different!)
1 over 25 square foot
11 over 25 square foot
3 over 25 square foot
4 over 25 square foot

4 over 25 square foot./4/D

Step-by-step explanation:

Here: Base = 3/5 and 1/5 Add those = 2/5 Now

B x H 2/5 x 2/5 = 4 /25.

 Choice D)  4 over 25 square foot

This is the same as writing the fraction 4/25 of a square foot.

Explanation:

The base of the rectangle is 3/5 of a foot. The horizontal portion of either triangle is 1/5 of a foot.

These two facts allow us to find that the base of the parallelogram is 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5 of a foot.

Multiply this with the height (2/5) to get

area = base*height

area = (2/5)*(2/5)

area = 4/25 answer is choice D

Side note: the base and height are not always the same length.

A slightly longer approach would have you follow these steps
