Aparallelogram has an area of 42cm^2. what would the area be if the base was one-third as long and the height was twice as long?

Area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and height.

Let the base be "b" and height be "h". So we can write:

Area  = bh = 42 cm²

After the change, base is one-third. So the new length of the base will be: b/3 
After the change, height is twice as long. So the new height will be :  2h

Area after the change = 
Using the value of bh from equation above we get:

Area after the change =  cm²

So the area of new parallelogram will be 28 cm²

A: 18/15b : 7 - -8 = 15 , 12 - -6 = 18 the y variable always goes over the x variables, c : same thing a
