In a parallelogram, if you have two base numbers such as 67ft and 60 ft and a height number such as 52ft, how do you find the area?
------------------
Area = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)
-------
A = (1/2)(52)(67+60)
A = 26(127)
A = 3302 sq. ft.

The area of a parallelogram is
A = bh
Now the h should be perpendicular to one of the bases. I don't know if 52 is perpendicular to the 67 or the 60. Here are the two options:
(1) 52*67 = 3484 sq. ft.
(2) 52*60 = 3120 sq. ft.
