Calculate Parallelogram Area: 25cm Base with 13cm Height

Question

AB = 25 cm

The height of the rectangle is 13 cm.

Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

00:00 Calculate the area of parallelogram ABCD

00:03 Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram

00:15 We'll use the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram

00:21 Side(CD) multiplied by height (H)

00:25 Let's substitute appropriate values and solve for the area

00:34 And this is the solution to the problem

To calculate the area of the parallelogram, we'll use the formula for the area, which is the product of the base and the height.

Identify the base and height from the information given: The base $AB$ is 25 cm and the height is 13 cm.
Apply the formula for the area: $\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$ .
Substitute the given values into the formula: $\text{Area} = 25 \times 13$ .
Perform the multiplication: $\text{Area} = 325$ square centimeters.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $325 \, \text{cm}^2$ .

This corresponds to choice 1: 325.
