Answer:
46.2 square inches
Explanation:
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4 sided closed figure) with 2 pair of parallel sides.
The diagram shown is a parallelogram.
Top and Bottom are parallel lines,
both sides are parallel lines (left and right).
The area for a parallelogram is given by:
Area = Base * Height
In the given figure, the base is clearly given as 4.2 inches
The height (perpendicular distance from base) is given as 11 inches.
So, basically we do not need the 11.7 inches length of side given.
Now, lets compute the area:
Area = base * height = 4.2 * 11 = 46.2 square inches
