Question

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths.
Base 1 1/2 feet, altitude 6 inches.

Answer 1

You can do this! :P
Remember, area = base*height

Answer 2

You have different values here, so try converting them both to the same value.
Ie both to feet or both to inches. Remember, 1 foot = 12 inches

Answer 3

So would it be 3/4 in. ?

Answer 4

1.5 feet = 18 inches.
Area = base*height
Area = 18*6 = 108inches squared

Answer 5

or..
6 inches = 0.5 feet
Area = base*height
Area = 1.5*0.5 = 0.75 feet squared.
