Question

the length of the base of a parallelogram is 14 centimeters, and the corresponding height is $h$ centimeters. which formula can be used to find $a$, the area of the parallelogram in square centimeters?
a $a = 14 \div h$
b $a = 14h$
c $a = \frac{1}{2}(14h)$
d $a = \frac{1}{2}(14 - h)$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallelogram area formula

The area of a parallelogram is given by $A = \text{base} \times \text{height}$.

Step2: Substitute given values

Here, base $= 14$ cm, height $= h$ cm. Substitute into the formula:
$A = 14 \times h = 14h$

Answer:

B. $A = 14h$
