Question

A parallelogram has a base of 20 millimeters and a height of 6 millimeters. Find the area.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Area of parallelogram is $120{\text{ mm}}^2$.

Step 1. Given.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Height }h=6\text{ mm}\\ \text{Base }b=20\text{ mm}\end{array}$

Step 2. Formula used.

$\text{Area of parallelogram }A=bh$

Step 3. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

Substitute the value of base and height in the above formula and solve further to get

$\begin{array}{l}A=\left(6\right)\left(20\right)\\ A=120{\text{ mm}}^2\end{array}$

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $A=120{\text{ mm}}^2$.
