Calculate Parallelogram Area: 6 cm Base × 4.5 cm Height Problem

Question

A parallelogram has a length equal to 6 cm and a height equal to 4.5 cm.

Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

00:00 Find the area of the parallelogram

00:03 We will use the formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram (side times height)

00:06 We will substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area

00:09 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, let's apply the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is $\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}$ .

Here, the base of the parallelogram is 6 cm, and the height is 4.5 cm.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

$\text{Area} = 6 \times 4.5$

Performing the multiplication:

$\text{Area} = 27$ square centimeters.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $27 \, \text{cm}^2$ .

Referring to the given multiple-choice answers, the correct choice is:

Choice 3: $27$ .
