Question

2.3 area of parallelograms and triangles leo has 100 paving tiles in the shape of parallelograms as shown below. he plans to make a patio using these tiles. what will the area of the patio be? the area of the patio will be \boxed{} in²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of one tile

The area of a parallelogram is base × height. Here, base = 8.5 in, height = 6 in.
$\text{Area of 1 tile} = 8.5 \times 6 = 51 \text{ in}^2$

Step2: Calculate total area of patio

Multiply area of 1 tile by number of tiles (100).
$\text{Total Area} = 51 \times 100 = 5100 \text{ in}^2$

Answer:

5100
