use the ruler provided to measure the base of the parallelogram shown to the nearest 0.5 CM which measurement is the closest to the area of the parallelogram in square centimeters ​

Area of the parallelogram = 21.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height of the side parallel to the base

By using ruler,

Base = 4.8 cm

Height of parallelogram = 4.5 cm

Area of the parallelogram = 4.8 × 4.5

                                           = 21.6 cm²
