Question

A parallelogram has a base of 20 millimeters and a height of 6 millimeters. Find the area.

Short answer

Area of parallelogram is$120{\text{mm}}^2$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Height}h=6\text{mm}\\ \text{Base}b=20\text{mm}\end{array}$

Step 2. Formula used.

$\text{Areaofparallelogram}A=bh$

Step 3. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

Substitute the value of base and height in the above formula and solve further to get

$\begin{array}{l}A=\left(6\right)\left(20\right)\\ A=120{\text{mm}}^2\end{array}$

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is$A=120{\text{mm}}^2$.
