A land plot is defined by points A(0,0), B(4,0), C(5,3), D(1,3). What is the area of the parallelogram representing this plot?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
A(0,0), B(4,0), C(5,3), D(1,3)
By the formula:
Area of a parallelogram = base × height
AB = √[(4 − 0)² + (0 − 0)²] = 4
Height = 3
Area = 4 × 3 = 12 square units
