The area of the parallelogram can be calculated by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base is the slanted bottom side of 6 meters and the height is the dashed horizontal segment of 4.5 meters.
Area = base x height
Area = 6 meters x 4.5 meters
Area = 27 square meters
However, since the parallelogram has two congruent sides, we need to multiply the area by 2.
2 x 27 = 54 square meters
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 54 square meters.
None of the provided options match the calculated area of 54 square meters.
What is the area of the figure below?
A parallelogram is shown. The slanted bottom side is 6 meters. The vertical right side is 14 meters. The right side is extended with a dashed segment to a dashed perpendicular horizontal segment from the top left vertex of the parallelogram. The dashed horizontal segment is 4.5 meters.
