1st step. Calculate the area of the parallelogram
We can use the following formula:
[tex]A=b\cdot h[/tex]
where,
base, b = 9 km
height, h = 5 km
Therefore,
[tex]A=9\cdot5=45[/tex]
The area of the parallelogram is 45 km^2
2nd step. Calculate the area of the triangle
Let's use this formula:
[tex]A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}[/tex]
where,
base, b = 6 km
height, h = 3 km
Therefore,
[tex]A=\frac{6\cdot3}{2}=9[/tex]
The area of the triangle is 9 km^2
3rd step. calculates the ratio of the area of the parallelogram to the area of the triangle
[tex]r=\frac{A_P}{A_T}=\frac{45}{9}=5[/tex]
Answer: the area of the parallelogram is 5 times greater than the area of the triangle.
