Question 972816: A piece of fabric for a quilt design is in the shape of a parallelogram. The base is 7 and the height is 3.6. What is the total area of the 23 pieces need for the quilt? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
b=base=7; h=height=3.6; A=area of one piece
.
A=bh
A=(7)(3.6)=25.2 square units
.
One piece is 25.2 square units, and 23 are needed so:
.
Total Area needed=(23)(25.2 square units)=579.6 square units
