To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula:
Area = base x height
In this case, we have two possible bases and two possible heights, since a parallelogram can have any pair of opposite sides as its base and corresponding height. Let's choose the shorter base of 7mm and the corresponding height of 14mm:
Area = 7mm x 14mm
Area = 98mm²
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 98mm².
