Question

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 0.56 cm and a height of 0.33 cm (to the nearest hundredths)? A) 0.18 cm2 B) 0.19 cm2 C) 0.21 cm2 D) 0.22 cm2

Answer 1

ANSWER

`A=0.18 \: {cm}^(2)`
EXPLANATION

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula


`A=bh`

The height of the given parallelogram is 0.33cm.

The base given to us is 0.56 cm.

We put these values into the formula to obtain,


`A=0.33 * 0.26 \: {cm}^(2)`


`A=0.1848\: {cm}^(2)`
This gives us,


`A=0.18 \: {cm}^(2)`

to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 2

Answer: A) 0.18 cm²

Explanation:

To calculate the area of a parallelogram you must apply the formula shown below:

`A=b*h`

Where b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.

You know the values of the base and the value of the height.

Therefore, when you susbstitute these values into the equation shown above, you obtain the following result:

`A=0.56*0.33cm=0.18cm^(2)`
