39.5cm^2

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider the given parallelogram.

Triangle
We want to find the area of a parallelogram. We can use the following formula to do it. Area= b h In this formula, b is the length of the base and h is the height. For our parallelogram, we will substitute b= 7.9 for the base and h= 5 for the height into the formula to calculate its area.
Area=bh
Area=( 7.9)( 5)
Area=39.5
The area of the parallelogram is 39.5 square centimeters.
