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, opposite sides are the same length.
In the given parallelogram, we can see that the base is 4.7 inches and its corresponding height is 5.7 inches. We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram, then simplify.
