Question 366843: Hi
I sent this in yesterday and I haven't got a solution as yet. This is a parallelogram problem asking to solve the perimeter. Its a square box on a slant(a Parallelogram. Inside the parallelogram is a angle or triangle to the left side of the parallelogram. Half way up the triangle to the side of the triangle is a measurement of 5cm. The base of the parallelogram has two measurements. 2 cm to the left side with arrows pointing to the end of the parallelogram and the other half of the base being 4cm to the other side of the parallelogram.So the two bases are 2 cm and 4 cm and the middle number is 5 cm. Do you do the problem like this.
A=1/2bh
1/2. 2cm.5cm=10cm and than divide that by 1/2= 5
1/2.4cm.5cm-20cm and than divide that by 1/2= 10
than add 5 and 10 to equal 15 for the perimeter??????
Hope you can understand what I'm saying. Help!!!!
