A=LxW
12.75x2.5=31.875 squared inches

A parallelogram is a rectangle with a misplaced corner. Cut off one corner and move it under the other corner and it makes the rectangle, which has an area of LxW

To find the area of a parallelogram you use the formula A=bh. The base of your parallelogram is 12.75 and your height is 2.5. Just plug the numbers into the formula. A=12.75(2.5) Your final answer is: A=31.875 or 31 875/1000 in fraction form
