Calculate Parallelogram Area: Given Height h=6 and Base=13

Look at the parallelogram in the figure.

h = 6

What is the area of the parallelogram?

To find the area of the given parallelogram, we will use the standard formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is the product of its base and height.

• Step 1: Identify the given dimensions.
• Step 2: Base of the parallelogram is given as $13$ cm.
• Step 3: Height is given as $6$ cm.

Now, let's proceed with the calculation:

Using the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

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

Substituting the known values:

$\text{Area} = 13 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm}$

$\text{Area} = 78 \, \text{cm}^2$

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is $\mathbf{78 \, \text{cm}^2}$.
