Answer:
B.[tex]14in^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by using one of two methods.
Split up into different shapes:
This method uses the sum of the areas of a rectangle and two triangles to find the area of the parallelogram:
[tex]A=(b*h)_{rectangle} +2*(0.5*b*h)_{triangle} \\A=(5*2)+2(0.5*2*2)\\A=10+4\\A=14in^{2}[/tex]
Use Parallelogram formula:
This formula is the same as the formula for a rectangle where you multiply the base by the height.
[tex]A=b*h\\A=(5+2)*2\\A=14in^{2}[/tex]
