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! :)

Answer:

13.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a = side 1

b = side 2

c = hypotenuse

9.2^2 + b^2 = 16.5^2

272.25 - 84.64 = 187.61 =b^2

√187.61 = b = 13.697 = 13.70
