Find the area of the parallelogram below.

The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is Base x height

A = Bh

In this case the base (the longest side) is 8 cm and the height (distance between the obtuse angle and the base) is 5 cm

A = 8 * 5

A = 40 cm²

Hope this helps!

40cm²

The formula is Base × Height. We can find the area if we multiply the Base and Height.

A = Bh

As for that, the Base is the upper length, which is 8 and the height is the obtuse angle inside the parallelogram, which is 5.

Since we got our lengths, we can solve.

Remember how I said the formula is A = Bh. (Area = Base × Height)

So, we can multiply 8 by 5 to get the area.

8 times 5 will equal 40.

Hence, 40cm² is the answer.
