Exercise 4 Page 642

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

216ft^2

Practice makes perfect

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. In the given parallelogram, we see that the base is 18 ft and its corresponding height is 12 ft.

We can substitute these two values into the formula for the area of a parallelogram and simplify.
A=bh
A=18(12)
A=216
The area of the parallelogram is 216ft^2.
