Explanation:

Step1: Recall formula for parallelogram area

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

Step2: Identify base and height

From the diagram, the base \( b = 6 \) miles and the height \( h = 5 \) miles.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \( A = 6 \times 5 \).
\( A = 30 \).

Answer:

30
