Answer 1

Answer:

  (d)  112 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formla ...

  A = bh . . . . . . where b is the base length and h is the height

__

Here, the base is divided into parts, but their total length is 5m+9m = 14m. The height is given as 8m, so the area is ...

  A = (14 m)(8 m) = 112 m²

The area of the parallelogram is 112 square meters.

__

Alternate solution

You can also figure this as the sum of the areas of the two triangles and that of the center rectangle.

  A = 2(1/2bh) +bh

  A = 2(1/2(5 m)(8 m)) +(9 m)(8 m) = 40 m² +72 m² = 112 m²
