Exercise 21 Page 784

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

480m^2

Practice makes perfect

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

If we consider the side whose length is 20 meters as the base, then the height is 24 meters. Let's substitute these values in the formula for the area of a parallelogram.

A=bh

b= 20, h= 24

A=(20)(24)

Multiply

A=480

The area of the parallelogram is 480 square meters.
