Answer:
A = 16 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
here b = 6 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] and h = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then
A = 6 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] × 2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ← convert mixed numbers to improper fractions
= [tex]\frac{32}{5}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] ( cancel 5 on numerator and denominator )
= 32 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= 16 units²
