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 5 centimeters and the height is 9 centimeters. Let's see the diagram!

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

A=bh
A= 5( 9)
A=45

The area of the parallelogram is 45 square centimeters.
