Here's a pattern to consider:
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
4+97=101
5+96=101
.....
This question relates to the discovery of Gauss, a mathematician. He found out that if you split 100 from 1-50 and 51-100, you could add them from each end to get a sum of 101. As there are 50 sets of addition, then the total is 50×101=5050
So, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is 5050.

Quick note
We can use a formula to find out the sum of an arithmetic series:
s =  \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}
Where s is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series. It works for the above problem.

Answer:

24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

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

A = bh

where A represents the area, b the length of the "base", and h the "height" measured at right angles to the base.

Here, it is convenient to use one vertical side of the figure as the base. You can count the grid squares to see that it is 8 units long.

The height is then the distance from one vertical side to the other. Again, you can count the grid squares to see that it is 3 units.

The area is the product of these dimensions:

A = (8 units)·(3 units) = 24 units^2
