Question

find the space inside a parallelogram with a base of 17 and a height of 5.
note: figure may not be drawn to scale.
label optional

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 $=17$ and height $=5$ into the formula:
$\text{Area} = 17 \times 5$

Step3: Calculate the product

$\text{Area} = 85$

Answer:

85
