Answer: Option A, 192 sqft.

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given as A = b * h. Where A = area of a parallelogram, b = base of a parallelogram, and h = height of a parallelogram.

As given in the picture above we can see that the height of the parallelogram is 12 ft and the base is 16 ft.

so Area is the base multiplied by the height. that is A = 16 ft * 12 ft which is equal to 192 ftsq. A parallelogram has for sides and two opposite sides that are parallel and also have equal lengths. The height of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance between two parallel lines of a parallelogram.

Area of a Parallelogram

We can use the following equation to find the area of a parallelogram:


A=bh

  • b = base length
  • h = length from base to base, must be perpendicular

Solving the Question

We're given:

  • b = 16 ft
  • h = 12 ft

Plug these values into the equation and solve:


A=bh\\A=16*12\\A=192

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 192 ft².

Answer

192 ft²
