Question

1. The height of a parallelogram is 6 more units than the base. What is the area of the parallelogram if the base is 15 centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 315 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The height of a parallelogram is 6 more units than the base. The base is 15 cm.

To find :

the area of the parallelogram

Solution :

Let the height of the parallelogram be h cm and base be b cm.

b = 15 cm

According to the question,

h = b + 6

h = 15 + 6

h = 21 cm

Area of parallelogram = base × height

Area = b × h

Area = 15 cm × 21 cm

Area = 315 cm²

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 315 cm².
