Question

Find the area of the figure

A) 45 square inches
B) 60 square inches
C) 90 square inches
D) 225 square inches

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

To calculate the area of a parallelogram, use A = b*h where h is a perpendicular height. For one parallelogram the base is 15 inches and the height is 3 inches. There are two of equal area so multiply by 2.

A = 15(3)(2) = 90 square inches
