Answer:

option H

457.9 CM squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

base of parallelogram = 30 cm

side of parallelogram = 18 cm

one of the angle of parallelogram = 58°

Formula to calculate area of parallelogram is

area = base x height

To calculate height we will use trigonometry identity  

sinФ = opposite / hypotenuse

sin(58) = height / 18

height = 15.27

Area = 30 x 15.27

         = 457.9 cm²

so the area of parallelogram is 457.9 cm²
