Question

find the area of each parallelogram.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height (a)

Base $b=8$ cm, height $h=4$ cm

Step2: Calculate area (a)

$Area = b \times h = 8 \times 4 = 32$

Step3: Identify base and height (square)

Base $b=12$ yd, height $h=12$ yd

Step4: Calculate area (square)

$Area = b \times h = 12 \times 12 = 144$

Step5: Identify base and height (b)

Base $b=8$ yd, height $h=3$ yd

Step6: Calculate area (b)

$Area = b \times h = 8 \times 3 = 24$

Answer:

a. (parallelogram) $32$ cm²; (square) $144$ yd²
b. $24$ yards²
