A quilt desighn uses parallogram - shaped pieces that have base measure of 6 inches and a height of 8 inches. if 15 pieces are used in the quilt, what is the total area of the parllogram - shaped pieces in the quilt?

A. 150in
B. 360in
C. 720in
D. 1,440in

6 * 8 * 15 = ?

720?

Yes.

To find the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt, we need to calculate the area of one piece and then multiply it by the number of pieces used.

The area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying the base length (b) by the height (h). In this case, the base measure is 6 inches and the height is 8 inches. So, the area of one parallelogram-shaped piece is 6 inches * 8 inches = 48 square inches.

Since there are 15 pieces in the quilt, we multiply the area of one piece (48 square inches) by the number of pieces (15) to get the total area of all the pieces:

48 square inches * 15 pieces = 720 square inches.

Therefore, the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt is 720 square inches.

So, the correct answer is C. 720in.
