Answer:
46.2 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4 sided closed figure) with 2 pair of parallel sides.
The diagram shown is a parallelogram.
Top and Bottom are parallel lines,
both sides are parallel lines (left and right).
The area for a parallelogram is given by:
Area = Base * Height
In the given figure, the base is clearly given as 4.2 inches
The height (perpendicular distance from base) is given as 11 inches.
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>So, basically we do not need the 11.7 inches length of side given.</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
Now, lets compute the area:
Area = base * height = 4.2 * 11 = 46.2 square inches
