Answer:

A= 71 3/4 ft

Explanation:

The formula for a parallelogram is A=bh (b= base) (h=height)

So, this parallelogram has a base of 10 1/4 and a height of 7.

Now that we have the values we need all you do is multiple them together.

10 1/4 * 7 = 71 3/4 ft

If you have a problem with multiplying fractions another way to rewrite 10 1/4 is 10.25 since 1/4 of a quarter is .25.

So you can also do 10.25 * 7 and you would get 71.75 which is the same answer just in decimal form.

If you rewrite 71.75 as a fraction it would be 71 3/4 since .75 is 3/4 of a quarter.

Hope this helps!
