Answer:
The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile² ⇒ D
Explanation:
The formula of the area of a parallelogram is A = b1 × h1 = b2 × h2, where
- b1 and b2 are two adjacent sides of it
- h1 and h2 are the heights perpendicular to these bases
In the given figure
∵ There is a parallelogram
∵ One of its bases is 0.25 mile
∴ b1 = 0.25 mile
∵ the height of this base is 0.75 mile
∴ h1 = 0.75 mile
→ By using the rule of the area above
∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.25 × 0.75
∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.1875 mile²
∴ The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile²
