Question

(4) What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 inches, and aheight of 2.5 inches?2pa

Answer 1

By definition, the area of a Parallelogram can be calculated with the following formula:

`A=bh`

Where "b" is the base of the parallelogram and "h" is the height.

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, you know that:

`\begin{gathered} b=12in \\ h=2.5in \end{gathered}`

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula shown before:

`A=(12in)(2.5in)`

Finally, evaluating, you get that the area of this Parallelogram is:

`A=30in^2`
