In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane below, the points (0, 0), (10, 0), (13, 6), and (3, 6)

In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane below, the points (0, 0), (10, 0), (13, 6), and (3, 6) are the vertices of a parallelogram. What is the area, in square coordinate units, of the parallelogram?

1. 30
2. 60
3. 30√3
4. 30√5
5. 60√5

Answer

The correct answer is B.

The area of a parallelogram is given by bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height.

For the parallelogram, b = 10 and h = 6.

So, Area = bh = 10 x 6 = 60.
