segment be is the altitude of parallelogram abcd. be is approximately 14.5 units long. what is the area of the parallelogram rounded to the nearest unit? square units

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula of a parallelogram is $A = base\times height$.

Step2: Identify base and height

The height (altitude) $BE = 14.5$ units. By counting the grid - squares, the base (the horizontal distance between the parallel sides where the altitude is drawn) is 8 units.

Step3: Calculate area

$A=8\times14.5 = 116$ square units.

Answer:

116
