Question

in 16 and 17, use the picture at the right.

1. hilary made an origami dog. what is the area of the parallelogram that is highlighted in the origami figure?

b = 6.26

1. a type of origami paper comes in 15 cm by 15 cm square sheets. hilary used two sheets to make the origami dog. what is the total area of the origami paper that hilary used to make the dog?

450 cm²
b = 4 cm
h = 2.36 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Find parallelogram area

The area of a parallelogram is calculated by $A = b \times h$. Substitute $b=4$ cm and $h=2.36$ cm.
$A = 4 \times 2.36$

Step2: Calculate single sheet area

The area of one square sheet is $A_{\text{sheet}} = s \times s$, where $s=15$ cm.
$A_{\text{sheet}} = 15 \times 15$

Step3: Calculate total paper area

Multiply the area of one sheet by 2 (since two sheets are used).
$A_{\text{total}} = 2 \times 15 \times 15$

Answer:

1. The area of the parallelogram is $\boldsymbol{9.44}$ cm²
2. The total area of the origami paper used is $\boldsymbol{450}$ cm²
