To find the area of the parallelogram, calculate the product of the base and the height.

500m^2

Practice makes perfect

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. In the given parallelogram, the length of the base is 20 meters and the height is 25 meters. Let's substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh

b= 20, h= 25

A= 20( 25)

Multiply

A=500

The area of the parallelogram is 500 square meters.
