thank-you guys if you don't mind how did you work that out i think i worked it out wrong...

anonymous · Answer

i did this question for my unit test, its right; H = 8 + B   B = 20     
H = 8 + 20
Area of a parallelogram = BH
A = 12(20)
A = 240

anonymous · Answer

i mean B = 12
H = 8 + 12
H = 20
A = 12(20)
A = 240
