Parallelogram area via base and corresponding height: One side (base) of a parallelogram is 14 cm, and its perpendicular distance to the opposite side is 16 cm. Find the area.

Introduction / Context:Area of a parallelogram equals base times the corresponding height. No angle computation is needed when height is provided.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Base = 14 cm
• Height = 16 cm

Concept / Approach:Area A = base * height.

Step-by-Step Solution:A = 14 * 16 = 224 sq. cm

Verification / Alternative check:No other data needed; formula is direct.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:112 halves the product; 210 is unrelated; 56π is circular sector–like and irrelevant.

Common Pitfalls:Using slanted side instead of perpendicular height.

Final Answer:224 sq. cm
