For this case we must find the area of the parallelogram, knowing that by definition, it is given by:
![A = b * h](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/njfwko96sstl6r8isnxkvpz1amxgv5g4we.png)
Where:
In the figure we observe that the base of the parallelogram is 23cm, then,
. On the other hand, the height is 12cm, then,
. Substituting:
![A = 23\cm * 12\cm\\A = 276\ cm ^ 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8filor99ik0njg2qyeahmkj4awrr277nr7.png)
Thus, the area of the parallelogram is
![A = 276\ cm ^ 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/cxqbcx4mzb25nagra8emwnc7ge9glutrsz.png)
Answer:
![A = 276\ cm ^ 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/cxqbcx4mzb25nagra8emwnc7ge9glutrsz.png)
