Find the area of the parallelogram.
A parallelogram is shown with a horizontal base labeled 2.3 centimeters.From the base, a dashed line segment is drawn, ending at a point just below the upper right vertex of the parallelogram. A vertical dashed line segment is drawn from the endpoint to the upper right vertex. This segment is labeled 6.4 centimeters. A small square is placed along the two dashed lines with the point of intersection as the lower right vertex of the square.

To find the area of the parallelogram, we can use the formula: Area = base x height.
In this case, the base of the parallelogram is 2.3 cm and the height is 6.4 cm.
Area = 2.3 cm x 6.4 cm
Area = 14.72 cm²
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 14.72 cm².
Therefore, the correct answer is: 14.72 cm²
