Answer: The area of the parallelogram is:
_______________________________________________________

(9393)/(8) in² = 1174 ⅛ in² = 1174.125 in²
.
_______________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Area of a parallelogram:
_______________________________________________________
A = base * height = b * h ;

From the figure (from the actual "question"):
_______________________________________
b = 50.5 in.

h = 23.25 in.
____________________________________________________________
Method 1) A = b * h =

= (50.5 in) * (23.25 in) = 1174.125 in² ; or, write as: 1174 ⅛ .
____________________________________________________________
Method 2) A = b * h =

= (50 ½ in) * (23 ¼ in) =

= (

(101)/(2) in) * (
(93)/(4) in) ;
___________________________________________________________
Note: "50 ½ " = [(50*2) + 1 ] / 2 =
(101)/(2) ;

Note: "23 ¼ " = [(23*4) + 1 ] / 4 =
(93)/(4) ;
____________________________________________________________
→ A = (
(101)/(2) in) * (
(93)/(4) in) ;

→ A =
((101*93))/((2*4)) in² =
(9393)/(8) in² ;

→ A = (9393/8) in² =

A =
(9393)/(8) in² = 1174 ⅛ in² = 1174.125 in²
.
