To find the area, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram: Area = base * height.
In this case, the base of the parallelogram is given as 2.7 cm. The height of the parallelogram is the vertical leg of the triangle, which is 5.2 cm.
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 2.7 cm * 5.2 cm = 14.04 cm².
The correct answer is 14.04 cm².
