Question

The area of a parallelogram is found using the formula bh, where b represents the length of the base and h represents the length of the height. What is the area of a parallelogram that has a base of 10 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters?

A 1,012 square centimeters
B 120 square centimeters
C 22 square centimeters
D 1,200 square centimeters

Answer 1

120 square centimeters

Explanation:

The question says the formula already.

Area = bh

b = base length b = 10

h = height length h = 12

Area = 10 · 12

Area = 120 square centimeters

Answer 2

Answer: B. 120 square centimeters

Explanation:

Given : The area of a parallelogram is found using the formula
`bh`, where b represents the length of the base and h represents the length of the height.

Then , the area of a parallelogram that has a base of 10 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters will be:-

`\text{Area}=10*12\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=120\text{ square centimeters}`

Therefore , the area of the parallelogram = 120 square centimeters
