Calculate Parallelogram Area: 4cm Height × 7cm Base Problem

Question

Given the parallelogram of the figure

What is your area?

00:03 Let's find the area of the parallelogram.

00:07 To do this, multiply the height, which we'll call A E, by the side, D C.

00:14 Now, plug in the given numbers and calculate the area.

00:25 Great job! That's how we solve this problem.

To find the area of the parallelogram, we will use the formula:

A = \text{base} \times \text{height}

From the problem, we identify the base as $7 \, \text{cm}$ and the height as $4 \, \text{cm}$ . Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

A = 7 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 28 \, \text{cm}^2

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $28 \, \text{cm}^2$ .

$28\operatorname{cm}^2$
