To calculate: The area of the figure provided below,

  

Answer to Problem 3E

The area of the parallelogramis ${\text{120 m}}^{\text{2}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The figure is provided below,

  

Formula used:

Area $\left(A\right)$ of parallelogram is the product of its height and base. Let the base be $\left(b\right)$ and the height be $\left(h\right)$ thenit is mathematically denoted by $A=b\cdot h$ .

Calculation:

Consider the provided figure,

  

The above figure is a parallelogram as opposite sides are parallel. So, base of parallelogram is 8m and height is 15m.

Recall that area $\left(A\right)$ of parallelogram is the product of its height and base. Let the base be $\left(b\right)$ and the height be $\left(h\right)$ then it is mathematically denoted by $A=b\cdot h$ .

Apply it,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=b\cdot h\\ =15\cdot 8\\ =120{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$

Thus, the area of the figure is ${\text{120m}}^{\text{2}}$ .
