Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that,
The side of a parallelogram is 3 m and the corresponding altitude = $\frac{3}{8}m$
Let the side and altitude of the parallelogram be A and B

Area of the parallelogram = A$\times$B

Given side and altitude are 3 m and $\frac{3}{8}m$

Area of the given parallelogram
$=\left(3\right)\times \frac{3}{8}=1.125m^2$
The area of the parallelogram is $1.125m^2$.
