A quilt design uses parallelogram-shaped pieces that have a base measure of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches. If 15 pieces are used in the quilt, what is the total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt?

A. 225 in

B. 360 in

C. 450 in

D. 900 in

The area of the parallelogram is:

A = b * h

Where,

b: base

h: height

Substituting we have:

A = (4) * (6)

A = 24

For 15 parallelograms we have:

At = 15 * A

At = 15 * 24

At = 360 in ^ 2

Answer:

The total area of the parallelogram-shaped pieces in the quilt is:

B. 360 in ^ 2
