Find the area of the parallelogram based on the data in the figure:
It is not possible to calculate.
Calculate the area of the parallelogram according to the data in the diagram.
The number 6 represents a slanted side, not the perpendicular height! For parallelogram area, you need the vertical distance between parallel sides, not the length of a slanted side.
Look for a right angle symbol (small square) or a dashed line showing the shortest distance between parallel sides. Without this measurement, you cannot calculate the area.
The figure only shows the base length (8) and a slanted side (6). We're missing the crucial perpendicular height measurement needed for the area formula.
Only if the perpendicular height happened to be exactly 3 or 3.5 respectively. But since we don't know the actual height, we can't determine if these are correct.
