Question

A parallelogram has side lengths of 8 inches and 5 inches. The distance between the 8-inch sides is 4 inches.What is the area of the parallelogram?

Answer 1

Given:-

The side length of parallelogram is 5inch.

The base length of parallelogram is 8inch.

The height of parallelogram is 4inch.

To find:-

The area of the paralleogram.

Now the area of the paralleogram can be found eaily by multiplying its base value with its height.

So the area of the paralleogram is,

$A=b\times h$

Substituting the values. we get,

$\begin{gathered} A=8\times4 \\ A=32 \end{gathered}$

So the area of paralleogram is 32 units square.
