Question

dchs 25 - 26 college readiness mathematics area of triangles and parallelograms what is the area of parallelogram abcd? 14 square units 16 square units 27 square units 18 square units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area of a parallelogram is $A = base\times height$.

Step2: Determine base and height

By counting the grid - squares, if we consider the base along the horizontal direction and the height along the vertical direction. Let's assume each grid - square has a side - length of 1 unit. We can find that the base of parallelogram $ABCD$ is 4 units and the height is 4 units.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=4\times4 = 16$ square units.

Answer:

16 square units
