Question

find the area of the parallelogram.
2.34 cm
1.89 cm
? cm²
round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

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 \( b = 1.89 \, \text{cm} \) and the height \( h = 2.34 \, \text{cm} \).

Step3: Calculate the area.

Substitute the values of base and height into the formula: \( A = 1.89 \times 2.34 \).
First, multiply \( 1.89 \) and \( 2.34 \):

Step4: Round to the nearest hundredth.

The value \( 4.4226 \) rounded to the nearest hundredth is \( 4.42 \) (since the thousandth digit is 2, which is less than 5, we round down the hundredth digit).

Answer:

\( 4.42 \)
