Exercise 6 Page 287

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

80ft^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 16 feet and the height is 5 feet.

Let's substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh

b= 16, h= 5

A= 16( 5)

Multiply

A=80

The area of the parallelogram is 80 square feet.
