*Picture not drawn to scale
What is the area of the serving tray?
A.
1,017.5 square millimeters
B.
2,035 square millimeters
C.
368 square millimeters
D.
184 square millimeters
To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula:
Area = base x height
In this case, the base of the serving tray is 245 mm and the height is 165 mm.
Area = 245 mm x 165 mm
Area = 40,425 square mm
Therefore, the area of the serving tray is 40,425 square millimeters.
None of the given options match this calculation, so it seems that the correct answer is not listed.
