The area of a parallelogram can be calculated using the formula: Area = base x height.
In this case, the base of the parallelogram is the top side, which is 10 centimeters. The height of the parallelogram is the length of the perpendicular dotted line, which is 8 centimeters.
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is: 10 cm x 8 cm = 80 cm2.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a parallelogram with top side as 10 centimeters. A perpendicular dotted line from top left vertex to the bottom side is 8 centimeters. The perpendicular line makes one right angle symbol with top side and two right angle symbols with the bottom side.
What is the area of the quadrilateral?
