Question

Find the area of this parallelogram. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

12 in
15 in
12 in

Answer 1

Explanation:

the area of a parallelogram is

baseline × height

to multiply (like the other answer) just length and width, that only works for real rectangles, as then due to the 90° angles the length is also the height to the width and vice versa.

so the area here is

12 × 12 = 144 in²
