Question

find the area of parallelogram efgh. round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The area \( A \) of a parallelogram is given by the formula \( A = base \times height \).

Step2: Identify the base and the corresponding height

From the diagram, we can see that one of the sides (let's take the side with length 9 in as the base) and the corresponding height is 2.3 in.

Step3: Calculate the area

Using the formula \( A = base \times height \), substitute the values: \( A = 9 \times 2.3 \).
\( 9\times2.3 = 20.7 \)

Answer:

The area of parallelogram \( EFGH \) is \( 20.7 \) square inches.
