Here, we can split this parallelogram into two triangles and one rectangle. The triangles are equal to each other so we can just find the area of the rectangle and the are of <span>one triangle.
</span>Triangle area formula:
, where a = area, b=base, and h=height.
Plug in 5 for b and 11 for h:
<span>Multiply by 2!
</span>
Rectangle area formula: a=bh, where a = area, b = base, and h = height.
Plug in 4 for b and 11 for h.
a = 4 x 11
a = 44
44+55 = 99
Area is 99 cm<span>².</span>
