Question

SOMEONE HELP ME FIND THE AREA OF THIS PARALLELOGRAM

Answer 1

13.5 cm²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 4.5 and h = 3, so

A = 4.5 × 3 = 13.5 cm²

Answer 2

A = 13.5 cm²

Explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the area of the parallelogram

- In any parallelogram each two opposite sides are parallel

- In any parallelogram each two opposite sides are equal in length

- Each two opposite sides have height perpendicular on them

- So the parallelogram has 2 different bases and 2 different heights

- The area of the parallelogram = base × the height of this base

* Lets solve the problem

- The lengths of the two bases of the parallelogram are 4.5 cm , 5 cm

- The height of the base which length is 4.5 is 3 cm

- We will calculate the area of the parallelogram from this base

∵ The base of the parallelogram = 4.5 cm

∵ The height of this base = 3 cm

∵ Area of parallelogram = base × its height

∴ Area of parallelogram = 4.5 × 3 = 13.5 cm²

* The area of the following parallelogram is 13.5 cm²
