To find the area of the parallelogram, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
From your description, it sounds like the sides of the parallelogram are given as \(16 \, \text{in}\) and \(15.2 \, \text{in}\), but we need to identify which one is the base and the height.
Assuming \(16 \, \text{in}\) is the base and \(13.2 \, \text{in}\) is the height (the perpendicular distance between the two bases), we can calculate the area as follows:
\[
\text{Area} = 16 \, \text{in} \times 13.2 \, \text{in}
\]
Now, we perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Area} = 16 \times 13.2 = 211.2 \, \text{in}^2
\]
So, the area of the parallelogram OLMNO is approximately:
\[
\boxed{211.2} \, \text{in}^2
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
