What’s the square unit ?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 units²

Explanation:

We will use the formula for the area of a parallelogram and solve.

A = bh

A = 6 * 4

A = 24 units²

Isn't this the same formula used for a rectangle? Correct! See attached, the "extra triangle" on the left side can be moved to the right side, and then we solve it like it is a rectangle.
