Question

What is the area, in square units, of the figure shown?

Answer 1

To determine the area of the figure, let's count first how many units its base and height are.

Counting the units, the base of the figure is 20 units while the height is 10 units.

To solve the area of the figure (parallelogram) above, the formula is:

`A=\text{base}* height`

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is:

`\begin{gathered} A=20\text{units}*10\text{ units} \\ A=200sq.\text{units} \end{gathered}`

The area is 200 square units.
