Question

Question 1 1 pts The base of the parallelogram on the left is 2.4 centimeters: its corresponding height is 1 centimeter. Find its area in square centimeters.

Answer 1

The area of the parallelogram in square centimeters is 2.4.

Explanation:

The area of a paralellogram is given by the following formula:

A = B*H

In which B is the length of the base, and H is the height.

In this question:

B = 2.4, H = 1. So

A = B*H = 2.4*1 = 2.4

The area of the parallelogram in square centimeters is 2.4.
