A quilt design uses parallelogram-shaped pieces that have a base measure of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches. If 15 pieces are used in the quilt, what is the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt?
1.225 in.
2.360 in.
3.(450 in.)
4.900 in.
15*4*6 = 360
360

To find the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt, we first need to find the area of one piece and then multiply it by the total number of pieces.
The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is A = base * height.
Given that the base measure of each piece is 4 inches and the height is 6 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area of one piece = 4 inches * 6 inches = 24 square inches.
Since there are 15 pieces in the quilt, we can now calculate the total area:
Total area = Area of one piece * Number of pieces = 24 square inches * 15 pieces = 360 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt is 360 square inches. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
