Question

A parallelogram has a base of 4 m and a height of 3m. What is the area of the parallelogram in square centimeters?

Answer 1

The area of the parallelogram in square centimeters is 120,000 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula: Area = base x height. In this case, the base is 4 m and the height is 3 m. To convert these measurements to centimeters, we multiply by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. So, the dimensions become: base = 4 m x 100 cm/m = 400 cm and height = 3 m x 100 cm/m = 300 cm.

Now, we can calculate the area of the parallelogram using:
Area = base x height = 400 cm x 300 cm = 120,000 cm²

Answer 2

Hello!

1 m = 100 cm

That means that 3 m = 300 cm, and 4 m = 400 cm.

Now that we know what the base and height are in cm, we must use the formula for area of a parallelogram to find the area:

FORMULA:

A = bh

SUBSTITUTE:

A = 400 × 300

A = 120,000

The area the parallelogram is 120,000 square cm.

(Put a small 2 above cm, instead of writing 'Square').
