Question

Zia has a slab of concrete in the shape of a parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

270 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = bh.

The base of the parallelogram is 9+9 = 18 inches.

The height of the parallelogram is 15 inches.

This makes the area 15(18) = 270 in²

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is correct

The area of the parallelogram is, 270 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram(A) is given by:

$A = bh$                 ......[1]

where,

b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram respectively.

As per the statement:

Zia has a slab of concrete in the shape of a parallelogram.

From the given diagram:

Base of the parallelogram(b) = 9+9 = 18 inches

height of the parallelogram(h) = 15 inches

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

$A = 18 \cdot 15 = 270 in^2$

therefore, the area of the parallelogram is, 270 square inches.
