The sides of the parallelogram are 5 cm and 13 cm and the smaller diagonal is perpendicular to the smaller side. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

In a right-angled triangle ABC Cos41 = AD / AB.

AD = AB * Cos410 = 12 * Cos410.

Let us determine the area of the parallelogram ABCDD.

Savsd = AB * AD * Sin41 = 12 * 12 * Cos41 * Sin41 = 144 * Sin82 / 2 = 72 * Sin82 cm2.

Answer: The area of the parallelogram is 72 * Sin820 cm2.

In a right-angled triangle ABD, according to the Pythagorean theorem, BD ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 – AD ^ 2 = 169 – 25 = 144.

ВD = 12 cm.

Determine the area of the parallelogram.

Savsd = AD * BD = 5 * 12 = 60 cm2.

Answer: The area of the parallelogram is 60 cm2.
