To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the base measures 32 feet, and the height (the perpendicular height) is 2 feet. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = 32 \, \text{ft} \times 2 \, \text{ft} = 64 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is **64 ft²**.
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the base measures 32 feet, and the height (the perpendicular height) is 2 feet. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = 32 \, \text{ft} \times 2 \, \text{ft} = 64 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is **64 ft²**.
