Answer 2

The area of a palalelogram by definition is given by:
A = (b) * (h)
Where,
b: base
h: height
We must also take into account the following conversion:
1 yard = 3 feet
Substituting the values (in feet) we have:
A = (3x) * (3y)
A = 9xy feet ^ 2
Answer:
the area of a parallelogram is:
9xy sq. ft.
