No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.
It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.
Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.
This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.
The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)
With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.

Answer:
4 inches should be turned up on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, create a situation in which we give the amount turned up on each side as x. Then give the amount that isn't turned up as 16 - 2x (since 2x is the amount turned up). Now we can find the area by multiplying the 3 measurements.
100 * x * (16 - 2x) = MAX
100 * (16x - 2x^2) = MAX
-200x^2 + 1600x = MAX
Now that we have a quadratic function, we can find the maximum value of x by using the vertex formula for x values (-b/2a).
x = -b/2a
x = -1600/2(-200)
x = -1600/-400
x = 4
