Question

Estimate the area of a parallelogram with a base of 6.21 meters and a height of 8.84 meters.

Answer 1

ANSWER

$54m^2$

EXPLANATION

To estimate the area of the parallelogram, approximate the base and height of the parallelogram to the nearest whole number and then apply the formula:

$A=b\cdot h$

Approximating, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} Base\approx6m \\ Height\approx9m \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the estimate of the area of the parallelogram is:

$\begin{gathered} A\approx6\cdot9 \\ A\approx54m^2 \end{gathered}$
