What is the area of a parallegram that has a base of 12 3/4 in and a height of 1/2 in

Area=base times height

base=12 and 3/4

height=1/2

area=12 and 3/4 times 1/2

12 and 3/4=12+3/4

area = (12+3/4) times 1/2

distribute using distributive propery a (b+c) = ab+ac

area=12 times 1/2+3/4 times 1/2

area=6+3/8

area=6 and 3/8 square inches (square inches=in^2))

So the parallelogram Formula is B*H

Plug in

12 3/4 * 1/2

51/4 * 1/2

51/8 = 6.375

So if you solve you will be gated 6.375
