*Picture not drawn to scale
What is the area of the serving tray?
A.
368 square millimeters
B.
184 square millimeters
C.
1,017.5 square millimeters
D.
2,035 square millimeters
To find the area of a parallelogram, you multiply the base by the height. In this case, the base is 95 mm and the height is 21.5 mm.
Area = base x height
Area = 95 mm x 21.5 mm
Area = 2042.5 square mm
Therefore, the area of the serving tray is 1,017.5 square millimeters (Option C).
