Question

The base and the corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are $10cm$ and $3.5cm$, respectively. The area of the parallelogram is

• A. $30c{m}^2$
• B. $35c{m}^2$
  
• C. $70c{m}^2$
• D. $17.5c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $35c{m}^2$

The area of the parallelogram is base $\times$ height $c{m}^2$

Area of the parallelogram$=\left(10\right)\left(3.5\right)=35c{m}^2$.
