Question

Find the area of the parallelogram please.​

Answer 1

Answer: 76.8 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

   The area of a parallelogram can be found be multiplying the base times the height.

       A = B * H

       A = 9.6 * 8

       A = 76.8 mi²

   Confused as to why this works? We use the same formula that we do for a rectangle because the "extra triangle" on the left can be moved to fill the empty space on the right. This then gives us a normal rectangle, which allows us to solve for the area

Answer 2

Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the base and height of a parallelogram and we are asked to calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula.

It is given that the base is 9.6 mi and height is 8 mi.

We know,

$\small\boxed{ \sf {Area_{(parallelogram)} = B × H}}$

Where,

• B stand for Base
• H stand for Height

Substituting the values we get

$\small\sf{ Area_{(parallelogram)} = (9.6 × 8) mi} = 76.8 {mi}^{2}$

• Hence the area of the parallelogram is 76.8 mi².
