Answer:
88 m^2
Explanation:
We can split the parallelogram into three shapes. 1 square and 2 triangles.
To find the area of a square, multiply one side by another side that does not face it. To find the area of a triangle, divide the base by half OR multiply the base by 0.5, and then multiply by the height.
Since these shapes are all pieces of the parallelogram, add together their total areas to get the area of the parallelogram.
Square: 7 x 8
Triangle: 0.5 x 4 x 8 or 4/2 x 8
(7 x 8) + 2 x (0.5 x 4 x 8)
56 + 2 x (2 x 8)
56 + 2 x 16
56 + 32
56 + 32 = 88 m^2
