Question

Find the area of the parallelogram 9.9in 5.5in

Answer 1

54.45 in²

Explanation:

Let the base and height be 9.9 inches and 5.5 inches respectively.

Formula;

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Substitute the base and the height in the formula:

• ⇒ Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
• ⇒ Area of parallelogram = 9.9 × 5.5

Evaluate the area of the parallelogram:

• ⇒ Area of parallelogram = 9.9 in × 5.5 in
• ⇒ Area of parallelogram = 54.45 in²

Answer 2

54.45 in²

Explanation:

Formula

Area of a parallelogram = base × height

If you turn the parallelogram so that the sides that measure 9.9in are the base, you will see that 5.5in is the height (refer to the attached diagram). Therefore, we can use the formula with these values to calculate the area.

Given:

• base = 9.9 in
• height - 5.5 in

⇒ area = 9.9 × 5.5 = 54.45 in²
