Hey there! 

To find the area of a parallelogram, you multiply the length and the width together, the exact same method you would use to find the area of a rectangle or square.

The reason you would use the same area formula of a rectangle/square to find the area of a parallelogram would be that all rectangles are parallelograms (however, not all parallelograms are rectangles).
**Rectangles are a special kind of parallelogram: they are parallelograms with right angles formed in the corners of the figure.

Another thing to keep in mind is to imagine this: if you were to split the parallelogram from the top left corner straight down, you will get a triangular figure. If you were to move this triangular figure to fill in the right slanted part of the parallelogram, you would have a rectangle.

Now, to solve for the area. Because the formula is A=Base (or the length)*Height (or the width), you should have this expression:
A=20*27

This would simplify to 540 cm squared, which would be your answer.

Hope this helps and have a wonderful day! :)

If ac =x+3 and db=3x-19, find ac
AveGali [126]
We need some sort of diagram to see what they are. Is there any way to say that ac = db? Either equal angles or equal lines. 
x + 3 = 3x - 19 Add 19
x + 3 + 19 = 3x Subtract x
21 = 2x
x = 21 / 2
x = 10.5

ac = 10.5 + 3
x = 13.5
