20 square inches
To find the area of a parallelogram, you multiply the length of the base by the height. Let's assume the base of the parallelogram is 6 inches and the height is 4 inches.
Area = base x height
Area = 6 inches x 4 inches
Area = 24 square inches
Therefore, the area of each parallelogram-shaped piece is 24 square inches.
