Question

use the formulas developed in this section to find the area of the figure

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for the area of a parallelogram

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

Step2: Substitute the values of base and height

Here, the base \(b = 52\) cm and the height \(h=42\) cm. So, \(A=52\times42\).

Step3: Calculate the product

\(52\times42=(50 + 2)\times42=50\times42+2\times42=2100+84 = 2184\)

Answer:

\(2184\) cm²
