Question

Find the area of the following shape:

Answer 1

63 inches squared or
`63in^(2)`

Explanation:

The answer is 63 inches squared.

The area of a parallelogram is always base times height.

In this case, the base is seven and the height is nine.

To find the area, we must multiply nine by seven

We get 63

But, we are multiplying inches and inches together

When we multiply something by itself, it becomes squared

Since we are multiplying inches by inches, it becomes inches squared

Therefore, the area of the shape is 63 inches squared, or

`63in^2`

Answer 2

63 in^2

Explanation:

Area = base x height

Base: 7

Height: 9

9 x 7 = 63
