Question

What is the area of the figure below?

Answer 1

Hey there!

To find the area of a parallelogram, you need to multiply base by height. So 12 is the base, and 3 is the height. Multiply these to get 36. The answer would be 36 in^2, or C.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

(C)
`A=36 squareinches`

Explanation:

We are given a parallelogram with height 3 inches and base of the measure 12 inches.

Now,
`Area of parallelogram=Base{*}height`

`A=b{*}h`

`A=3{*}12`

`A=36 squareinches`

Thus, the area of the parallelogram is
`A=36 squareinches`.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
