Question

Find the area of a parallelogram whose base and corresponding height are 8 cm and 16 cm respectively.

• A. 208 cm${}^2$
• B. 128 cm${}^2$
• C. 148 cm${}^2$
• D. 168 cm${}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 128 cm${}^2$

Given: Base = 8 cm and corresponding height = 16 cm

Area of a parallelogram = Base $\times$ Corresponding height

Area of a parallelogram = 8 $\times$ 16
Area of a parallelogram = 128 cm${}^2$
