To solve this worksheet, we need to
calculate the area of each parallelogram using the formula:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
> ⚠️ Note: The height must be the
perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (not the slanted side).
Let’s go through each parallelogram one by one.
---
1. First Parallelogram
- Base = 7
- Height = 5
$$
\text{Area} = 7 \times 5 = 35
$$
✔ Area = 35
---
2. Second Parallelogram
- Base = 9
- Height = 3
$$
\text{Area} = 9 \times 3 = 27
$$
✔ Area = 27
---
3. Third Parallelogram
- Base = 25
- Height = 20
$$
\text{Area} = 25 \times 20 = 500
$$
✔ Area = 500
---
4. Fourth Parallelogram
- Base = 4
- Height = 2
$$
\text{Area} = 4 \times 2 = 8
$$
✔ Area = 8
---
5. Fifth Parallelogram
- Base = 16
- Height = 8
$$
\text{Area} = 16 \times 8 = 128
$$
✔ Area = 128
---
6. Sixth Parallelogram
- Base = 10
- Height = 5
$$
\text{Area} = 10 \times 5 = 50
$$
✔ Area = 50
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. Area =
35
2. Area =
27
3. Area =
500
4. Area =
8
5. Area =
128
6. Area =
50

📌 Explanation:
The key concept here is that the
area of a parallelogram is always:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
Even though the shapes look skewed or tilted, as long as you use the
perpendicular height, the formula works perfectly.
Also, note that the shapes are not drawn to scale — so don't rely on visual estimation; trust the numbers given.
