The area of the parallelogram with a base of 12 cm and a height of 7 cm is 84 square centimeters.
A parallelogram is simply a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides.
The area of a parallelogram is expressed as:
Area = base × height
From the diagram:
The base of the parallelogram = 12 cm
The height of the parallelogram = 7 cm
Area of the parallelogram =?
To determine the area of the parallelogram, plug the given values into the above formula and simplify.
Area = base × height
Area = 12 cm × 7 cm
Simplifying, we get:
Area = 84 cm²
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram measures 84 square centimeters.
