12 ft
12
12 ft3
12ft2

Answer 1

To calculate the area of a parallelogram

⇒ we must know the formula

⇒ Area = base * height

What are we given:

• Base length: it is 4ft because we counted that the length covered 4 square
• Height length: it is 3ft because we counted that the height covered 3 square

Thus:

Area = 3ft * 4ft = 12
`ft^2`

Hope that helps!
