oh i get it thanks ms sue

You're welcome.

To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:

Area = base * height

In this case, the base of the parallelogram is given as 372.5 cm and the height is given as 17.6 cm.

Now, let's substitute these values into the formula:

Area = 372.5 cm * 17.6 cm

To calculate the area, multiply the base (372.5 cm) by the height (17.6 cm):

Area = 6547.5 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 6547.5 square centimeters or 6,556 cm².
