Calculate Parallelogram Area: 32cm Width and 15cm Height Problem

AB = 32 cm

The height of the rectangle is 15 cm.

Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

To calculate the area of the parallelogram, we'll use the standard area formula for a parallelogram:

$\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}$

From the problem, the base $AB = 32 \, \text{cm}$ and the height is $15 \, \text{cm}$.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

$\text{Area} = 32 \times 15$

Perform the multiplication:

$32 \times 15 = 480$

Thus, the area of the parallelogram is $\text{480 cm}^2$.

The correct answer is choice 4: 480.
