Calculate Parallelogram Area: 17 cm Base with 8 cm Height

AB = 17 cm

The height of the rectangle is 8 cm.

Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

To solve this problem, we will calculate the area of the parallelogram using the given base and height dimensions.

• Step 1: Identify the given parameters. The base of the parallelogram $AB = 17 \, \text{cm}$ and the corresponding height is $8 \, \text{cm}$.
• Step 2: Apply the area formula for parallelograms: $\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}$.
• Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula: $\text{Area} = 17 \times 8$.

Calculating the product, we have:
$\text{Area} = 136 \, \text{cm}^2$.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $136 \, \text{cm}^2$.
