Question

a parallelogram has base 15 cm and slanted side 13 cm. the height is 8 cm. what is the area?
104 $cm^{2}$
195 $cm^{2}$
130 $cm^{2}$
120 $cm^{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for parallelogram

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

Step2: Substitute given values

Substitute base $= 15\ \text{cm}$ and height $= 8\ \text{cm}$
$\text{Area} = 15 \times 8$

Step3: Calculate the product

$\text{Area} = 120$

Answer:

120 cm²
