The area of a parallelogram is simply its base (6.1 miles) multiplied by its height (2.6 miles).
Substitute the values into the formula for area.
[tex]A=6.1\cdot2.6[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]A=\boxed{15.86}[/tex]
Note that the answer is given in square miles ([tex]\text{mi}^2[/tex]) since both of the measurements used are in miles.
