  1. Side length of a parallelogram from its area ●○○○○ 10 ptsA parallelogram has adjacent sides of lengths ss units and 2s2s units forming a 45∘45^\circ angle. The area of the parallelogram is 828\sqrt{2} square units. Find the value of ss. Round to two decimal places.
  2. Area of a parallelogram ●○○○○ 10 ptsIn parallelogram ABCDABCD, AB=4AB = 4 cm, BC=6BC = 6 cm, and ∠ABC=30∘\angle ABC = 30^\circ. Find the area of parallelogram ABCDABCD in square centimetres.
  3. Area of a parallelogram from vectors ●○○○○ 10 ptsCalculate the area of the parallelogram spanned by the vectors a⃗=(3,−3,1)\vec{a} = (3, -3, 1) and b⃗=(4,9,2)\vec{b} = (4, 9, 2). Round to two decimal places.
  4. Area of parallelogram from its diagonals ●●○○○ 20 ptsLet p\mathbf{p} and q\mathbf{q} be two three-dimensional unit vectors such that the angle between them is 30∘.30^\circ. Find the area of the parallelogram whose diagonals correspond to p+2q\mathbf{p} + 2 \mathbf{q} and 2p+q.2 \mathbf{p} + \mathbf{q}. Give your answer as a decimal.
  5. Parallelogram area from sides and diagonal ●●○○○ 20 ptsTwo adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 5050 cm and 4040 cm, and one diagonal is 3030 cm. Find the area of the parallelogram in square centimetres.
  6. Area of a parallelogram from vector combinations ●●○○○ 20 ptsCalculate the area of the parallelogram constructed on the vectors a⃗=3p⃗+2q⃗\vec{a}=3\vec{p}+2\vec{q} and b⃗=2p⃗−q⃗\vec{b}=2\vec{p}-\vec{q}, given that ∣p⃗∣=4|\vec{p}|=4, ∣q⃗∣=3|\vec{q}|=3 and the angle between p⃗\vec{p} and q⃗\vec{q} is 3π4\frac{3\pi}{4}. Round to two decimal places.
