Exercise 1 Page 619

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. In the given parallelogram we will consider the given side whose length is 20 meters as the base and its corresponding height, which is 10 meters.

We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.

A=bh

SubstituteII

b= 20, h= 10

A=(20)(10)

Multiply

Multiply

A=200

The area of the parallelogram is 200m^2.
