Question

what is the area of the parallelogram?
4 cm
5 cm
9 cm
18 cm²
28 cm²
36 cm²
45 cm²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

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

Step2: Identify the base and height

From the figure, the base \(b = 9\space cm\) and the height \(h=4\space cm\).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A=9\times4 = 36\space cm^{2}\).

Answer:

\(36\space cm^{2}\) (the third option)
