Area of parallelogram is 14.782

Area of a parallelogram #= l * h# where l is the length and h is the height

Given length = l = 4, width = 4 = 1 and #/_ (BAD) = pi - (3pi)/8 = (5pi)/8#

It’s a rhombus as l & w are equal.

#h = w * sin /_ (BAD) = 4 * sin (5pi)/8 = 3.6955#

Area of parallelogram = A = l * h = 4 * 3.6955 = 14.782#
