Answer: The area of the parallelogram is: _______________________________________________________ [tex] \frac{9393}{8} [/tex] in² = 1174 ⅛ in² = 1174.125 in² . _______________________________________________________ Explanation: _______________________________________________________ Area of a parallelogram: _______________________________________________________ A = base * height = b * h ;
From the figure (from the actual "question"): _______________________________________ b = 50.5 in.
h = 23.25 in. ____________________________________________________________ Method 1) A = b * h =
= (50.5 in) * (23.25 in) = 1174.125 in² ; or, write as: 1174 ⅛ . ____________________________________________________________ Method 2) A = b * h =
