Please help!

A sandbox is in the shape of a parallelogram.  A diagram of the sandbox is shown.
What is the area of the sandbox?


45 ft²

90 ft²

135 ft²

576 ft²

Answer 1

The answer would be 135 ft².

Answer 2

`A=135\ ft^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height

so

`A=bh`

In this problem we have

`b=10+5=15\ ft`

`h=9\ ft`

substitute

`A=15*9=135\ ft^(2)`
