Answer:
Area = 49 ft²
Explanation:
The formula for area of a parallelogram is A = bh, where b is the base, and h is the height. Here, the base is given and the height is 4 times the length of the base
Here b = 3 1/2, and h = 4(3 1/2) = 14
3 1/2 becomes 7/2 as an improper fraction, 4(7/2) = 28/2 = 14
So the area is
A = 14(3 1/2)
A = 14(7/2)
A = 98/2
A = 49 ft²
