Question

Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale

Answer 1

The area would be height x width

area = 32 x 22 = 704 in^2

answer is D

Answer 2

Answer: The area of the figure is (D) 704 in².

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the area of the figure.

We can see that the given figure is a parallelogram with two sets of parallel and congruent sides 22 in and 40 inch. And the height of the parallelogram is 32 in.

The area of a parallelogram with base 'b' units and height 'h' units is given by

$A=b\times h.$

In the given figure,

base, b = 22 in   and   height, h = 32 in.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is

$A=b\times h=22\times 32=704~\textup{in}^2.$

Thus, the area f the figure is 704 in².

Option (D) is correct
