$$A. A = 1/2bh$$

$$B.  A=1/2h(h+8)$$

$$C.  A=h^2+4h$$

$$D.  A=1/2(2h)(h+8)$$

The answer is not A. It just isn't . . . it doesn't go with the problem.

anonymous · Answer

The answer is not C because it has nothing to do with multiplying the height by 4 and squaring it

anonymous · Answer

Because you are looking at twice the height, you have to multiply h by 2

The answer is B

Does that make sense?
