Step-by-step explanation:
Area=5×50m
=250m²/25000cm²
since they gave us the area of a parallelogram on a map and a scale there's no need to know the dimensions.
I'm not sure but I hope it helps
The area of the actual parallelogram is 12500 [tex]m^{2}[/tex].
We can find the area of the actual parallelogram without knowing the dimensions of the parallelogram because we are given that 1 cm in the map represents 50 m in the actual parallelogram.
Given,
The area of a parallelogram on the map = 5 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex].
Each cm represents 50m.
We need to find the area of an actual parallelogram.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
The opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.
Area of a parallelogram :
A = b x h.
Where b = base and h = height.
We are given the area of the parallelogram on a map so this is not the actual parallelogram.
We can find the actual parallelogram by converting the cm into the actual units.
We are given that 1 cm = 50 m.
We need to change the cm unit into m (meter) unit.
Area of actual parallelogram :
5 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
= 5 x [tex](50m)^{2}[/tex]
= 5 x 50 x 50 x [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
= 12500 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
Thus the actual area of a parallelogram is 12500 [tex]m^{2}[/tex].
We are able to find the actual area of a parallelogram without knowing the dimensions of the parallelogram because we are given the actual unit measurement i.e 1 cm in map = 50 m in the actual parallelogram.
