This document discusses finding the areas of rectangles and parallelograms. It provides examples of shapes with given dimensions and asks the reader to calculate the areas in different units like cm^2 and in^2 using the formulas for area of a rectangle (length x width) and area of a parallelogram (base x height). The homework problems referenced are from page 502 numbers 5 through 14 and number 17.
