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

64ft^2

Practice makes perfect

Take a look at the given parallelogram.

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its corresponding height. Recall that in a parallelogram opposite sides are the same length. Therefore, we will consider the side whose length is 8 feet as the base and its corresponding height, which is also 8 feet.
