A parallelogram is shown. The length of the sides are 5 units and the length of the top and bottom segments are 8 units. A diagonal is drawn from one point to the opposite side. The length of the diagonal is 11 units.
Using Heron’s formula, calculate the area of the parallelogram to the nearest tenth of a square unit.

Area ≈
square units

Sagot :

Using the Heron's formula, the area of the parallelogram is 36.7 square units.

How to use Heron's formula?

Heron's Formula = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)],

where,

  • a, b, and c  = side of the triangle
  • s = semi perimeter of the triangle

Area of the parallelogram = 2(area of triangle)

Therefore,

The area of the triangle can be found using Heron's Formula

a = 5 units

b = 8 units

c = 11 units

s = 5 + 8 + 11 / 2 = 12 units

area of triangle = √[12(12-5)(12 - 8)(12 - 11)]

area of triangle = √12 × 7 × 4 × 1

area of triangle = √336

area of triangle = 18.3303027798

area of triangle= 18.33 units²

Therefore,

area of parallelogram = 2(18.33) = 36.6606055596

area of parallelogram = 36.7 unit²
