What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

A=base+height
A=(base*height)/2
A=2*(base+height)
A=base*height

The correct answer is: A=base*height

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is given by multiplying the base by the height. This is expressed mathematically as A = base * height. In this context, the base refers to the length of one side, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. This formula is fundamental in geometry because it allows you to calculate the area of parallelograms regardless of the angles involved, as long as you have the measurements for the base and the height. Other options do not accurately represent the correct calculation for the area of a parallelogram. For instance, adding or performing operations on base and height, such as dividing or multiplying by factors unrelated to area, will not yield the correct area measurement.
