Area of parallelogram is 40.7692

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

Given length = l = 7, width = w = 6 and #/_ (BAD) = pi - (7pi)/12 = (5pi)/12#

#h = w * sin /_ (BAD) = 6 * sin (5pi)/12 = 5.7956#

Area of parallelogram = A = l * h = 7 * 5.7956 = 40.7692#
