Problem: Find the Area of Each Parallelogram
The task is to calculate the area of each parallelogram shown in the image. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
We will use this formula to solve each problem step by step.

Step-by-Step Solution
####
1. First Parallelogram
-
Given:
- Base = 5 cm
- Height = 2 cm
-
Formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
-
Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 5 \, \text{cm} \times 2 \, \text{cm} = 10 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
-
Answer:
\[
\boxed{10 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
####
2. Second Parallelogram
-
Given:
- Base = 10 cm
- Height = 4 cm
-
Formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
-
Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 10 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} = 40 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
-
Answer:
\[
\boxed{40 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
####
3. Third Parallelogram
-
Given:
- Base = 7 cm
- Height = 5 cm
-
Formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
-
Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 7 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} = 35 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
-
Answer:
\[
\boxed{35 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
####
4. Fourth Parallelogram
-
Given:
- Base = 4 cm
- Height = 3 cm
-
Formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
-
Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 4 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = 12 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
-
Answer:
\[
\boxed{12 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
