Step-by-step explanation:

Note the formula for the area; "A" ; of a parallelogram—as follows:
A = b * h ;

in which:

A = the Area of this parallelogram given in the attached image;

for which we shall solve; in units of: cm² ;

or, write as: " square centimeters "
→ {since all the measurements shown in the image are in units of:

"cm" ["centimeters"].}
____
b = " base length " = 12 cm {as shown in the image};
____
h = " perpendicular height " = 7 cm {as shown in the image} .
____
To find the area; A :
We plug our given values into the equation/formula:
A = b * h ;
= (12 cm) * (7 cm) ;
= 12 * 7 * cm * cm ;
A = 84 cm² .
_____________

Note of interest: The following quadrilaterals are also parallelograms:
squares, rectangles, and rhombuses [or, "rhombi"].
