The area of the parallelogram formed by the overlap of two strips of paper, each 2 inches wide and at a 30-degree angle, is 2 square inches. This is calculated by taking the base as 2 inches and the height as 1 inch using the sine of the angle. Thus, applying the area formula gives us an area of 2 square inches.
