One side of the rice field in the shape of a parallelogram is 480 meters long. The perpendicular distance
between the base and its opposite side is 300 meters. What is the area?
Understand: 1.What is asked in the problem? The area of the rice field
2. What facts are given? b = 480 m, h = 300 m
Plan: 3. What is the formula to solve the problem? A = b x h
Solve: 4.How is the solution done? A = 480 m x 300 m = 144 000 m
Check your answer: 6. What is the complete answer? The area of the rice field is 144 000 m
