The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base is the slanted bottom side which is 6 meters and the height is the dashed horizontal segment which is 4.5 meters.
Area = base x height
Area = 6 meters x 4.5 meters
Area = 27 square meters
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 27 square meters.
