Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the area of the parallelogram
00:02 Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram
00:04 We'll use the formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram (base times height)
00:06 We'll substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area
00:08 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we must calculate the area of the given parallelogram using the formula:

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

Assuming the figure (as described) provides a base of 9 9 units and a height of 4 4 units, we substitute these values into the formula:

Area=9×4=36 square units \text{Area} = 9 \times 4 = 36 \text{ square units}

The necessary calculations have been carried out using the correct dimensions, ensuring dimensional consistency and precise arithmetical methods. Therefore, the calculated area of the parallelogram is 36 36 .

Given the multiple-choice options, the correct choice is the one specifying the area as 36 36 , confirming the answer provided in choice 3.

Answer

36
