Answer 1

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

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

In this case, you have:

- Base (AB or CD) = 24 in
- Height (the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side) = 12.3 in

Now, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 24 \, \text{in} \times 12.3 \, \text{in}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Area} = 295.2 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area of the parallelogram is:

\[
\text{Area} \approx 295.2 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Thus, the area of parallelogram ABCD is **295.2 in²**.
