Q:

How do the areas of the parallelograms compare? The area of parallelogram ABCD is 4 square units greater than the area of parallelogram EFGH. The area of parallelogram ABCD is 2 square units greater than the area of parallelogram EFGH. The area of parallelogram ABCD is equal to the area of parallelogram EFGH. The area of parallelogram ABCD is 2 square units less than the area of parallelogram EFGH.

Accepted Solution

A:
By definition, the area of the parallelogram is given by:
 A = b * h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 We have then:
 ABCD parallelogram:
 A = (3) * (3)
 A = 9 units ^ 2
 EFGH parallelogram: 
 A = (3) * (3)
 A = 9 units ^ 2
 Answer: 
 The area of parallelogram ABCD is equal to the area of parallelogram EFGH.
