Question

Find the area of this parallelogram. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
12in
16in
14in

Answer 1

To find the area of a parallelogram, the formula used is:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

From your measurements, it seems like you may have specified the lengths of the sides of the parallelogram. However, the base and the height must be specified, and you have provided three lengths: \(12 \, \text{in}\), \(16 \, \text{in}\), and \(14 \, \text{in}\).

If we assume:
- The base = \(16 \, \text{in}\)
- The height = \(12 \, \text{in}\)

Then we can substitute into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 16 \, \text{in} \times 12 \, \text{in} = 192 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is:

\[
\boxed{192 \, \text{in}^2}
\]

If the base and height are different, please clarify which length is the base and which is the height, and I can recalculate accordingly.
