It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Parallelogram: Area", which contains several parallelograms with given dimensions, and the task is to calculate the area of each. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll guide you through how to solve this type of problem and provide a general solution based on typical problems found in such worksheets.

🔷 Formula for Area of a Parallelogram:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
> ⚠️ Note: The height must be the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (not the slant side).
---
✔ Step-by-Step Solution Guide:
For each parallelogram on the worksheet:
1. Identify the
base (usually labeled or marked).
2. Identify the
height (the perpendicular line segment from the base to the opposite side; often shown as a dashed line with a right angle).
3. Multiply base × height.
4. Write the answer in the "Area =" box.

📌 Example Problem (Hypothetical):
Suppose one parallelogram has:
- Base = 8 cm
- Height = 5 cm
Then:
$$
\text{Area} = 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ cm}^2
$$

❗ Common Mistake to Avoid:
Don’t use the slanted side (like the 10 cm side) as the height unless it's perpendicular to the base. Only use the
perpendicular height.

✔ Tips:
- If the height is not labeled but a right triangle is shown, use the Pythagorean theorem if needed.
- Units are usually in cm², m², etc., so include units in your final answer.

🧩 Let’s assume the worksheet has these types of problems (common ones):
| Parallelogram | Base | Height | Area |
|---------------|------|--------|------|
| 1 | 6 | 4 | 24 |
| 2 | 9 | 3 | 27 |
| 3 | 7 | 5 | 35 |
| 4 | 10 | 6 | 60 |
| 5 | 12 | 8 | 96 |
> These values are examples — your actual numbers may vary.
---
✔ Final Answer Format:
For each shape:
```
Area = ___
```
Just plug in the product of base and height.

🛠️ If You Can Provide the Numbers:
Please describe the dimensions (base and height) of each parallelogram, or list them, and I’ll compute the exact areas for you.
Alternatively, if you can type out the measurements from the image, I’ll help solve each one step by step.
