Question

Find the area of the polygon.

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Hello!

Area of a Parallelogram:
`A = b*h`

• b = base
• h = height

Given our shape:

• Base = 9
• height = 4

Don't forget, the height is the altitude to the base, which means it forms a perpendicular intersection. The height is not the slant height of the parallelogram.

Find the Area

• 
  `A = b*h`
• 
  `A = 9*4`
• 
  `A = 36`

The area is 36 un².
