Math worksheet for calculating the area of parallelograms using base and height measurements.

I'll solve each parallelogram area problem step by step.

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:
Area = base × height

Let me work through each problem:

Problem 1:
- Base = 9 cm
- Height = 5½ cm = 5.5 cm
- Area = 9 × 5.5 = 49.5 cm²

Problem 2:
- Base = 5 in
- Height = 7¼ in = 7.25 in
- Area = 5 × 7.25 = 36.25 in²

Problem 3:
- Base = 2.6 m
- Height = 0.7 m
- Area = 2.6 × 0.7 = 1.82 m²

Problem 4:
- Base = 22 cm
- Height = 18 cm
- Area = 22 × 18 = 396 cm²

Problem 5:
- Base = 6½ ft = 6.5 ft
- Height = 3½ ft = 3.5 ft
- (Note: The 4 ft measurement is the slanted side, not needed for area)
- Area = 6.5 × 3.5 = 22.75 ft²

Problem 6:
- Base = 2.7 cm
- Height = 5.6 cm
- (Note: The 6.4 cm measurement is the slanted side, not needed for area)
- Area = 2.7 × 5.6 = 15.12 cm²

Let me verify my calculations:
