Chapter 11.6, Problem 18PPS

To determine

To find the area of given parallelogram.

Answer to Problem 18PPS

Area is 42.64 square km.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Parallelogram with $\text{base}=8.2\text{km}\text{,}\text{height}=5.2\text{km}$ .

Concept used:

The area of a parallelogram with base b and height h is $A=b\cdot h$ .

Calculation:

Given,

  $b=8.2\text{km}\text{,}h=5.2\text{km}$

Therefore area is,

  $\begin{array}{l}A=b\cdot h\\ \Rightarrow A=8.2\times 5.2\\ \Rightarrow A=42.64{\text{km}}^2\end{array}$
