Question

What is the area, in square units, of the parallelogram shown below?

Answer 1

Option B:

Area of the parallelogram = 60 square units

Solution:

Given ABCD is a parallelogram.

Height of the parallelogram = 10 units

Base of the parallelogram = 6 units

To find the area of the parallelogram:

Area of the parallelogram = Base × Height

                                           = 6 × 10

                                           = 60

Area of the parallelogram = 60 square units

Hence option B is the correct answer.
