A. 31.5 m
B. 63 m
C. 84 m
D. 126 m

Answer 1

Hi! For the area of a parallelogram, we just need to multiply the base and the height. It may sound simple but the tricky part in this problem is determining which one is the height.

For a parallelogram, the height is defined as the measurement PERPENDICULAR to the base. Therefore, for this problem, we need to multiply 14 and 4.5 instead of 14 and 6.

$14*4.5=63$

ANSWER: B. 63 square meters.

Answer 2

1: 36 in^2
2: 63 m^2
3: 26 in^2
4: 96 m^2
