Answer:

[tex]Area = \frac{25x^2}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Parallelogram

[tex]PR = 5x[/tex]

[tex]QS = 5x[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 90[/tex]

Required

Find the area of the parallelogram

Because we were given the measure of the diagonals, the area is:

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * PR * QS * \sin \theta[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * 5x * 5x * \sin \ 90[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * 5x * 5x * 1[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * 25x^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{25x^2}{2}[/tex]
