Tennessee Area

     The area formula is the same for all parallelograms in that they are all 2 dementional figures that have a set of rules that makes sure the length times the width will give you the area of the figure. I found that the dementions of TN was 430 miles East  to West and 110 miles North to south. I multiplies these two numbers together to get a rough area of 47,300 sq miles. The actual area is 42,144 sq miles. Which is only a difference of 5,156 sq miles which is pretty close due to this state not being an exact parallellogram.
