How Do You Find the Area of a Parallelogram?

Find the area of the parallelogram.

Summary

  1. b and h are variables standing for the base and the height
  2. Plug 8.6 in for 'b' and 10.3 in for 'h' into the area formula

Notes

    1. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A=bh
    2. 'A' is the area, 'b' is the base of the parallelogram, and 'h' is the height of the parallelogram
    1. The height, 'h', is 10.3 m
    2. The base, 'b', is 8.6 m
    1. Plug 8.6 in for 'b' and 10.3 in for 'h' into the area formula
    1. Multiply 10.3 by 8.6 to find A
    1. 10.3 and 8.6 each have one decimal place, so the answer will have two decimal places
