Question

A parallelogram-shaped tapestry has a base of 6 feet and a height of 5 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

30 feet

Explanation:

A parallelogram is a geometric figure that is considered to be a "quadrilateral." It's opposite sides are equal in nature. It is easy to find the the area once you know the base and height of your figure.

The formula of a Parallelogram's area is:

• A = bh, where A is area, b is base and h is height

In the problem above, the base and height of the tapestry were already given, thus it becomes easy to get the area.

So, let's solve the area:

A = what is being asked

b = 6 feet

h = 5 feet

• A = bh
• A = 6 feet × 5 feet
• A = 30 feet (this is the area of the tapestry)

Answer 2

Sample response: Use the formula A = bh. Multiply the base times the height: 6 × 5 = 30. The area of the tapestry is 30 square feet.
