The image shows a mathematical problem asking for the area of a parallelogram. To find the area of a parallelogram, you use the formula:
Area = base × height
In the parallelogram ABCD, AD is the base, and EF (which is the perpendicular distance from E to line AD) is the height.
From the image, we can see that the base AD is 9 meters long and the height EF is 8 meters.
So, the area of the parallelogram is:
Area = 9 m (base) × 8 m (height) = 72 m²
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "What is the area of this parallelogram?" is 72 m².
