The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The height is the altitude perpendicular to whichever side is being used as the base. Recall that in a parallelogram, pairs of opposite sides are the same length.
In the given parallelogram, we can see that the base is 5.8 meters and its corresponding height is is 3.5 meters. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram, then simplify.
