Q. The base of a parallelogram is

24

feet long, and its height is

12

feet.

\newline

Which equation can you use to find the area of the parallelogram,

A

?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

24 = 12 \times A

\newline

(B)

A = 24 \times 12

\newline

What is the area of the parallelogram?

\newline

Write your answer as a whole number or decimal. Do not round.

\newline

____ square feet

Identify Formula: Step $1$ : Identify the correct formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram. The area $A$ of a parallelogram is given by the formula $A = \text{base} \times \text{height}$ . Here, the base is $24$ feet and the height is $12$ feet. So, the correct equation to use is $A = 24 \times 12$ .
Calculate Area: Step $2$ : Calculate the area using the chosen formula. Multiply the base by the height to find the area. $\newline$ $A = 24 \times 12 = 288$ square feet.
