Question

The base of a parallelogram measures 1m 60cm and its height = 6.5 dm. Find its area in cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

10400 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = 1m 60cm = (100+60) cm = 160 cm

Height = 6.5 dm = (6.5 × 10) dm = 65 cm

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height = 160 × 65 cm² = 10400 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of Parallelogram in cm = 10400 cm²

Step by Step Explanation :-

Base of a parallelogram =    1m 60cm

                           Height  =   6.5dm

First, convert the given values into the same units. Here I am converting all the values into cm.

6.5 dm = 65 cm  (multiply 6.5 by 10)

1 m 60 cm = 160 cm (1 metre is 100 cm)

Now, find the area of the parallelogram,

Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

                                       = 160 cm x 65 cm  

                                      =  10400 cm²
