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 \( b \) of the parallelogram is \( 6.1 \, \text{cm} \) and the height \( h \) is \( 4 \, \text{cm} \).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of base and height into the formula: \( A = 6.1 \times 4 \).
\[
A = 6.1 \times 4 = 24.4
\]

Answer:

The area of Mariana's game piece is \( 24.4 \, \text{square centimeters} \).
