Question

. Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 inches and height of 12 inches.

Answer 1

96 square inches

Explanation:

We have that the area of the parallelogram is given by the following formula:

`\begin{gathered} A=b\cdot h \\ b=base=8\text{ inches} \\ h=height=12\text{ inches} \end{gathered}`

We replace the values of the base and the height of the parallelogram and calculate the area like this:

`\begin{gathered} A=8\cdot12 \\ A=96 \end{gathered}`

The area of the parallelogram is 96 square inches
