To draw a parallelogram that is not a rectangle and has an area of 24 square units, you can create a parallelogram with unequal sides. Here's how you can achieve this:
1. Start by drawing a parallelogram with one pair of unequal sides. For example, let one side be 6 units long and the other side be 4 units long.
2. Since the area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base (one of the sides) by the height (the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side), you need to determine the height of the parallelogram.
3. To find the height, you can draw a perpendicular line from one of the vertices to the opposite side. This perpendicular line represents the height of the parallelogram.
4. Calculate the height using the formula for the area of a parallelogram: Area = base x height. In this case, the base is 6 units and the area is 24 square units. Therefore, the height would be 24 / 6 = 4 units.
5. Complete your parallelogram by drawing the other pair of sides parallel to the given sides. Make sure that the opposite sides are parallel but not perpendicular to each other, as this would make it a rectangle.
By following these steps, you can draw a parallelogram that is not a rectangle and has an area of 24 square units.
