Recall that the area of a parallelogram is given by
[tex]A=b\cdot h[/tex]
Where b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.
From the given figure, we see that
Base = 4.25 cm
Height = 2 cm
Let us substitute these values into the above formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=b\cdot h \\ A=4.25\cdot2 \\ A=8.5\: cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 8.5 square cm.
