A parallelogram has base 55 mm and perpendicular height 14 mm. Find its area.
Note
Area of a parallelogram = base × perpendicular height. Here, 55 × 14 = 770, so the area is 770 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 770 mm².
