Question

write an equation for the area, a, of the parallelogram shown.
a = \square \bullet ?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for parallelogram

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

Step2: Identify base and height

From the diagram, the base is $3$ ft, and the height is $\frac{2}{3}$ ft.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$A = 3 \times \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

$A = 3 \cdot \frac{2}{3}$
