10 inches
12 cm
14 inches
What is the area of the parallelogram?
A 168 sq. inches
B 140 sq. inches
C 130 sq. inches
D 120 sq. inches
E 52 sq. inches

Answer 1

To find the area of a parallelogram, we need to multiply the base by the height. And the height of the parallelogram is the distance between the opposite sides of the parallelogram.

Given:
Base = 14 inches (convert to cm: 14 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 35.56 cm)
Height = 12 cm

Area = Base * Height
Area = 35.56 cm * 12 cm
Area = 426.72 square cm

Now, let's convert the area back to square inches:
Area = 426.72 square cm * 0.39 square inches/cm^2
Area ≈ 166.36 square inches

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the area of the parallelogram is approximately 166 square inches.

Since none of the provided answer choices are close to 166 square inches, it seems like there might be an error in the provided measurements.
