Example Question #41 : Plane Geometry
Ted drew the parallelogram shown below.
What is the area of the parallelogram?
40 square feet
20 square feet
160 square feet
26 square feet
32 square feet
32 square feet
The area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying the base times the height. The height is the perpendicular distance between two bases. In the above parallelogram, the base is 8 and its height is 4, giving the equation 8 x 4 = A. The area is 32 square feet.
