the area of a parallelogram is equal to the base times the height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "looks like you just to find the height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since one angle of the parallelogram is equal to 45, then we'll use that angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if your parallelogram is abcd with a on the top left and b on the top right and c on the bottom right and d on the bottom left, then we let our angle = abc which means the bottom right corner of the parallelogram will form the 45 degree angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we let the left and right side of the parallelogram equal 8 feet each.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we let the bottom and top side of the parallelogram equal 12 feet each.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12 feet is the length of the base of the parallelogram.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the height will equal sin(45) * 8 = 5.65685425\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "area = 5.65685425 * 12 = 67.88225099 square inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
