A parallelogram has base 49 mm and perpendicular height 11 mm. Find its area.
Note
Area of a parallelogram = base × perpendicular height. Here, 49 × 11 = 539, so the area is 539 square mm. A parallelogram can be rearranged into a rectangle without changing its area, so base × perpendicular height works. The slanted side is not used unless it is the given base or part of a perimeter question. So the correct choice is 539 mm².
