Drawing Height in Parallelogram and Construct Area Relation

In Figure gived parallelograms ABCD and EFGH and [GI], which is extension of [FG]. Chapter 1: Make the desired operation on the figure according to the following commands.
  1. Using Toolbar Image icon in Menu draw a segment, which perpendicular to DC, from point A to segment DC in first parallelogram.
  2. With Toolbar Imageicon determine the intersection point of this segment and segment DC.
  3. Press "Name" in Toolbar Image button and entitle this point as J.
  4. Draw a straight line, which perpendicular to GI straight line, from point H to GI in second parallelogram by the help of Toolbar Image icon.
  5. Determine a contact point on GI straight line by the help of Toolbar Image icon.
  6. Press the "Name" in Toolbar Image button and entitle this point as K.
Chapter 2: Answer the following questions according to your geometry worksheets.
  1. Express the lengths of segments AJ and HK by use of the squares floor.
  2. How can we correlate segments AJ and HK with a geometric concept
  3. Express the lengths of segments DC and BC by use of the squares floor.
  4. Find the area of ABCD parallelogram by use of count of squares. (Tip: Consider that the two half square are a complete square.)
