Exercise 16 Page 289

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

18ft^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 6 feet and the height is 3 feet.

We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh
A= 6( 3)
A=18

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square feet.
