Answer 1

To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:

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

In this scenario, the base is given as 18 meters and the height (which is the vertical dashed line) is given as 10 meters.

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Area} = 18 \, \text{m} \times 10 \, \text{m} = 180 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Thus, the area of the parallelogram is \( 180 \, \text{m}^2 \).

The correct answer is **180 m²**.
