Question

directions: calculate the area of
#1
(diagram of a parallelogram with top and bottom sides labeled 7.6 in, left and right sides labeled 8.2 in, height labeled 7.1 in)
area:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for the area of a parallelogram

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

Step2: Determine the base and height

From the diagram, the base \( b = 7.6 \) inches and the height \( h = 7.1 \) inches (assuming the 7.1 in is the height corresponding to the base of 7.6 in).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \( A = 7.6 \times 7.1 \).
Calculating the product: \( 7.6 \times 7.1 = 53.96 \) square inches.

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is \( 53.96 \) square inches.
