Question

if ( x = 8 ) units, ( y = 13 ) units, and ( h = 11 ) units, then what is the area of the parallelogram shown above?
a. 104 square units
b. 88 square units
c. 143 square units
d. 42 square units
note: figure is not drawn to scale.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The area formula for a parallelogram is \(A = base\times height\).

Step2: Identify the base and height values

Here, the base \(x = 8\) units and the height \(h=11\) units.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A=8\times11 = 88\) square units.

Answer:

B. 88 square units
