To solve the problem of finding the area of each parallelogram, we need to use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
The
base is one of the sides of the parallelogram, and the
height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
Let's go through each parallelogram step by step:
---
Parallelogram 1:
-
Base: 8 units
-
Height: 5 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 2:
-
Base: 6 units
-
Height: 4 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 3:
-
Base: 7 units
-
Height: 3 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 7 \times 3 = 21 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 4:
-
Base: 9 units
-
Height: 6 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 9 \times 6 = 54 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 5:
-
Base: 10 units
-
Height: 5 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 6:
-
Base: 12 units
-
Height: 7 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 12 \times 7 = 84 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 7:
-
Base: 15 units
-
Height: 8 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 15 \times 8 = 120 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Parallelogram 8:
-
Base: 11 units
-
Height: 6 units
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 11 \times 6 = 66 \text{ square units}
\]
---
Final Answers:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{Parallelogram 1:} & 40 \text{ square units} \\
\text{Parallelogram 2:} & 24 \text{ square units} \\

\text{Parallelogram 4:} & 54 \text{ square units} \\
\text{Parallelogram 5:} & 50 \text{ square units} \\
\text{Parallelogram 6:} & 84 \text{ square units} \\
\text{Parallelogram 7:} & 120 \text{ square units} \\
\text{Parallelogram 8:} & 66 \text{ square units} \\
\end{array}
}
