Exercise 4 Page 390

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

430 square inches

Practice makes perfect

Let's recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram. A=bh

This formula tells us that the area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. Let's take a look at the given parallelogram.

We can see that the base is 20 inches and its corresponding height is 21.5 inches. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh

b= 20, h= 21.5

A= 20( 21.5)

Multiply

A=430

The area of the parallelogram is 430 square inches.
