an explanation please? I don’t even need the answer I’m just confused on what to do with the extra number knowing how to multiply with the 2 other numbers!

Answer:
Area = 21 un²
Explanation down Below!
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need to worry about the 8 at all at this point
To find the area of a parallelogram you need to do base x height.
The height is 7, and the base of that height is 3.
7 x 3 = 21
Let me tell you why you do base x height.
if you cut out the triangle from the top and place it at the bottom it will become a rectangle.
The formula for a rectangle is base x height so this is why the formula works.
There is a picture for your reference.
