$\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

⠀⠀

$\sf{\underline{\boxed{\purple{\large{\bold{Area = Base \times height }}}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Area = 12m × 5.5m

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Area = 66m²

• Area of parallelogram = length × breadh
• Area of parallelogram = 1/2 × diagonal1 × diagonal2
• Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \bf \: given$

• Side of parallelogram = 12 m
• Altitude of parallelogram = 5.5 m

$\huge \bf \: to \: find$

Area of parallelogram

$\huge \bf \: solution$

As we know that area of parallelogram

$\huge \bf \: a \: = side \times altitude$

$\sf \: a \: = 12 \times 5.5$

$\sf \: a \: = 66 \: m$
