To find the area of a parallelogram, you use the formula: area = base x height.
In this case, the base is 5 inches longer than the original base, so it would be (5 + b) where b = original base. The height is 5 inches taller than the original height, so it would be (5 + h) where h = original height.
Given that the original base is b and height is h, the area of the new parallelogram would be:
Area = (5+b) x (5+h)
Area = (5+b) x (5+h)
Area = (5+5) x (5+5)
Area = 10 x 10
Area = 100
Therefore, the area of the new parallelogram would be 100 in 2.
