Find the area of the parallelogram ABCD. Angle B-150 degrees. AB = 15mm AD = 38mm

1. S is the area of the parallelogram.

2. We draw the height of the ВК.

3. ∠АВК = ∠В – ∠СВК = 150 ° – 90 ° = 60 °.

4. We calculate the length of the height ВK through the cosine ∠АВК, equal to the quotient of division ВK (leg of a right-angled triangle ABK) by AB (hypotenuse of the indicated triangle):

BK: AB = cosine ∠ABK = cosine 60 ° = 1/2.

Length of height BK = 15 x 1/2 = 7.5 millimeters.

5. S = AD x BK = 38 x 7.5 = 285 millimeters².

Answer: S = AD x BK = 38 x 7.5 = 285 millimeters².
