Question

Find the area of this parallelogram.
8.7 cm
10.1 cm
16.9 cm

Answer 1

147.03 sq.cm.

Explanation:

Equation for finding the area of a parallelogram:

b·h=area

Equation for this parallelogram(you don't need the 10.1):

16.9·8.7=147.03

Answer 2

`A=147.03\text{ cm}^2`

Explanation:

Recall that area for a parallelogram is given by the formula:

`A=bh`

Where b is the base length and h is the vertical height.

The base length is 16.9 while the vertical height is 8.7. Thus:

`A=(16.9)(8.7)`

Multiply using a calculator:

`A=147.03\text{ cm}^2`

In conclusion, the area of the parallelogram is 147.03 square centimeters.
