I don't just want the answer i wanna know how you got it please

anonymous · Answer

The area of parallelograms is determined by base times height.  Base and height are given.

anonymous · Answer

Yes.  Good job.  And now you have mastered parallelograms!  They don't get too much more complicated.  Yes, this problem seems easy, and is one of those types of problems that one "masters" almost immediately.
