Question

the value in your answer is incorrect. find the area of this parallelogram. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

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 given parallelogram, the base \(b = 13\) ft and the height \(h=15\) ft. (Note: The side length of 16 ft is not the height corresponding to the base of 13 ft. The height is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides corresponding to the base).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A=13\times15\). Using the multiplication operation \(13\times15=(10 + 3)\times15=10\times15+3\times15 = 150+45=195\).

Answer:

\(195\) square feet
