To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the base of the parallelogram is 18 inches, and the height is 28 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
\[
\text{Area} = 18 \, \text{inches} \times 28 \, \text{inches}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
18 \times 28 = 504 \, \text{in}^2
\]
Therefore, the wall area that the picture-collage will cover is **504 in.²**.
