Answer:

260 square centimeters

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:

b x h

Where the base (b) is multiplied by the height (h) perpendicular to it.

The base here is 20 cm

The height perpendicular to the base is 13 cm

20 x 13 = 260

Or you can decompose and rearrange it into a rectangle. You will get 20 cm as the length and 13 cm as the width. The answer will be just the same!

Hope this helps!

Answer: 260 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: A parallelogram is a

quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = bh.

Since the base of the parallelogram is 20 cm and the height

of the parallelogram is 13 cm, we can plug this information into the formula

to get (20 cm)(13 cm) which gives us 260 cm².

So the area of the parallelogram shown is 260 cm².
