If x = 9 units, y = 7 units, and h = 6 units, then what is the area of the parallelogram shown above?

Answer 1

In the absence of a picture I will assume that 9 is the length of the bases and 7 the length of the other two sides.

The area of a parallelogram is simply the product of the base times the height so:

Area = xh = 9•6 = 54.

y has nothing to do with it! Now if you knew the measure of one of the interior angles and y THEN you could use x and y to solve the problem. But that is another question....
