Question

Question 6 k Determine the area of the parallelogram shown below

Answer 1

We can calculate the area of a parallellogram by multiplying the length of the base (45 units) by the height (42 units, shown in red).

NOTE: the height is always measured in a segment that is perpendicular to the base.

Then, we can calculate:

`A=b\cdot h=45u\cdot42u=1890u^2`

Answer: the area is 1890 units^2.
