Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a parallelogram with a base labeled 18 meters and the side labeled 14 meters. A vertical dashed line runs from the top left vertex to the base and is labeled 10 meters. A right angle symbol is marked at the bottom right of the dashed line.
What is the area of the parallelogram?
The area of a parallelogram can be calculated using the formula: Area = base x height. In this case, the base is 18 meters and the height (10 meters) is the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side.
So, the area of the parallelogram is: 18 meters x 10 meters = 180 square meters.
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 180 square meters.
