Answer:

[tex]A=63\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides are parallel and congruent

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula

[tex]A=bh[/tex]

we have

[tex]b=9\ m\\[/tex]

[tex]h=7\ m[/tex] ---> perpendicular distance from the base

substitute

[tex]A=(9)(7)=63\ m^2[/tex]
