Given Data:

The length of the parallel side of the parallelogram is b.

The distance between the parallel sides is h.


\begin{gathered} b=4(1)/(3)\text{ yards} \\ =(4*3+1)/(3)yards \\ =(13)/(3)yards. \\ h=5(2)/(3)yards \\ =(5*3+2)/(3)yards \\ =(17)/(3)yards \end{gathered}

The area can be determined as,


\begin{gathered} A=bh \\ =(13)/(3)yard*(17)/(3)\text{yard} \\ =(221)/(9)yard^2^{} \\ =24(5)/(9)yard^2^{} \end{gathered}

Thus, the above expression gives the required area.
