In the figure below, ABCD is a parallelogram, AD= 18 and DC=54. Segments EG and FH are perpendicular to sides of the parallelogram as shown, and EG =18. What is the area of the parallelogram?
The area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying its base (CD) times its height (GE).
CD · GE = 54 · 18 = ......
