Answer:

240

Explanation:

Hello There!

Note: the little arrows indicate that the line can be extended and it's opposite side will never touch indicating that it's a parallelogram

The formula for area of a parallelogram is


A=bh

where b = base and h = height

the given dimension are

height = 15

base = 16

so all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula


A=(15)16\\15*16=240\\A=240

so we can conclude that the area of the polygon is

240 square units
