A) 120 B) 240 C) 48 D) 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area of parallelogram is base times height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you would add 8 to 12. to get the height them multiply 20 by 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, because h= (b+8) and b=12 . And then you do A= h x b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.
