Question 947213: The heights and bases of two geometric shapes are modeled by the expressions shown.
Triangle: h=3x+2 and b=2x+3
Parallelogram: h=3x+4 and b=3x+2
What expression represents the number of units by which the area of the parallelogram is greater than the area of the triangle?
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
by definition:
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure formed by two pairs of parallel lines.Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles have equal measure.
The area of a parallelogram is , the area of a triangle be the area of a parallelogram.
Thus, the formula for the area of a triangle is:
if given
Triangle: and
then
and
Parallelogram: and
What expression represents the number of units by which the area of the parallelogram is greater than the area of the triangle?
find the difference:
=> expression represents the number of units by which the area of the parallelogram is greater than the area of the triangle
