Question

the area of a parallelogram with base b and height h is bh. greta is using tiles shaped like parallelograms to cover her bathroom floor. each tile has a 4.25 - inch base and is 2 inches high.
what is the area of each tile?
write your answer as a whole number or decimal.
square inches

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is \(A = bh\). Here, \(b = 4.25\) inches and \(h=2\) inches. So, \(A=4.25\times2\).

Step2: Calculate the product

\(4.25\times2=(4 + 0.25)\times2=4\times2+0.25\times2=8 + 0.5=8.5\)

Answer:

\(8.5\)
