The area of a parallelogram is base times height.
We can find the height by deriving a right triangle from the 60 degree angle and the 6 cm hypotenuse
sin(60°) = opp/hyp = x/6
√3/2 = x/6 Multiply both sides by 6
3√3 = x
x = 3√3
The height is 3 √3
Area = base x height
Area = 3√3 * 8
Area = 24 √3 cm²
Answer is C) 24 √3 cm²
