Answer 6

Parallelograms are kinda like rectangles, in the sense that both their areas satisfies the equation A=b*h.

I believe my interpretation is correct.
The vertical dotted line 14 in, and the solid bottom line is 16 in.
But the vertical dotted line is the height, and the solid line is the base!

The area is the same as a rectangle of those dimensions, because if you can imagine cutting a piece of the parallelogram on the left, like so:



The pieces fit perfectly into a rectangle!

So the answer is A = b*h = 16*14 = 224!
