Area Calculation for Parallelogram
The area of a parallelogram is found by multiplying its base by its corresponding height.
Formula
The formula for the area (\(A\)) of a parallelogram is:
\(A = b \times h\)
Where:
- \(b\) is the length of the base.
- \(h\) is the corresponding height.
Given Values
- Base (\(b\)) = \(5\text{ cm}\)
- Height (\(h\)) = \(6\text{ cm}\)
Calculation Steps
- Substitute the values into the area formula:
\(A = 5\text{ cm} \times 6\text{ cm}\)
- Calculate the product:
\(A = 30\text{ cm}^2\)
Result
The area of the parallelogram is \(30\text{ cm}^2\). This matches Option A.
