Exercise 19 Page 289

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

3750cm^2

Practice makes perfect

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height.

Let's rotate the figure to make it easier to identify the base and the height!

After rotating the figure, we can see that the length of the base is 50 centimeters and the height is 75 centimeters. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh

b= 50, h= 75

A= 50( 75)

Multiply

A=3750

The area of the parallelogram is 3750 square centimeters.
