A parallelogram has an area of 4x^2 + 7x - 15. The base of the parallelogram is x + 3. What is the height of the parallelogram?

a. Write the formula for the area of a parallelogram.

b. Explain how factoring the trinomial helps solve the problem.

Respuesta :

a. Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply.


b. A trinomial is a polynomial with 3 terms.. This page will focus on quadratic trinomials. The degree of a quadratic trinomial must be '2'. In other words, there must be an exponent of '2' and that exponent be the greatest exponent.


ummm...I hope it helps you!!
