Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The area \( A \) of a parallelogram is given by the formula \( A = base \times height \).

Step2: Identify the base and height from the diagram

From the diagram, the base \( b = 7 \) inches and the height \( h = 7 \) inches (the perpendicular distance between the bases).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of base and height into the formula: \( A = 7 \times 7 \).
\( A = 49 \) square inches.

Answer:

49
