Answer:
A = 13.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to find the area of the parallelogram
- In any parallelogram each two opposite sides are parallel
- In any parallelogram each two opposite sides are equal in length
- Each two opposite sides have height perpendicular on them
- So the parallelogram has 2 different bases and 2 different heights
- The area of the parallelogram = base × the height of this base
* Lets solve the problem
- The lengths of the two bases of the parallelogram are 4.5 cm , 5 cm
- The height of the base which length is 4.5 is 3 cm
- We will calculate the area of the parallelogram from this base
∵ The base of the parallelogram = 4.5 cm
∵ The height of this base = 3 cm
∵ Area of parallelogram = base × its height
∴ Area of parallelogram = 4.5 × 3 = 13.5 cm²
* The area of the following parallelogram is 13.5 cm²
