Step-by-Step Solution

We know that ABCD is a parallelogram. According to the properties of parallelograms, each pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Therefore: CD=AB=10 CD=AB=10

We will calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula of side multiplied by the height drawn from that side, so the area of the parallelogram is equal to:

SABCD=10×7=70cm2 S_{ABCD}=10\times7=70cm^2

Answer

70
