The area of a parallelogram is 3.36 square feet. the base is 2.8 feet. if the measures of the base and height are each doubled, find the area of the resulting parallelogram

A = bh

Plug in values and solve for height (h).

A=3.36

b=2.8

3.36 = 2.8h

/2.8 / 2.8

1.2 = h

Base and Height doubled:

b = 2.8

h = 1.2

2 (2.8) = 5.6

2 (1.2) = 2.4

Plug in new b and h to area equation given to find area:

5.6 (2.4) = 13.44

Resulting parallelogram area = 13.44 ft^2
