An illustration shows a parallelogram with the right side as 16 inches. A perpendicular dotted line from top right vertex to the left side is 12 inches. The perpendicular line makes one right angle symbol with right side and two right angle symbols with the left side.
What is the area of the quadrilateral?
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
Area = base × height
In this case, the base is 16 inches and the height is 12 inches (the perpendicular line from the top right vertex to the left side).
Area = 16 × 12 = 192 square inches.
