Work out the area of a parallelogram of base 6cm and height 8cm

The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is: A=bh (b standing for your base, and h for height) You substitute 6 and 8 into your formula and your answer is 48cm^{2}

The formula of a parallelogram is given to on a maths gcse paper 
It is Area= base x height 
You simple substitute the numbers in 6 and 8 
6 x 8 = 48 
the answer is 48 cm squared 
you must remember the squared sign because you are working out the area of something 

35=5×77=7×1when we simplify 7 by 7we will get 5 and 1, 5 divided by 1 is 5
