Answer:

42.5 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is

[tex]A=a\cdot b\cdot \sin \alpha,[/tex]

where a and b are adjacent sides and [tex]\alpha[/tex] is inckuded angle.

In your case,

[tex]a=11\ cm\\ \\b=5\ cm\\ \\ \alpha=50^{\circ}6'[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]A=11\cdot 5\cdot \sin 50^{\circ}6'\approx 42.5\ cm^2[/tex]
