A. 0.5 well at least that's the answer in ingenuity.<span />
Answer:Yes they are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4a + 8 - 1/4a - 2 1/2(a + 12)
Combine like terms Distributive property
2/4a+6 1/2a+6
2/4=1/2 (simplify)
1/2+6=1/2+6
So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or

a being area
b being base
h being height
the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm
(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)
so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get

and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120
So the answer is 120
1/2(12+8)=10 Answer is 12
B is because any form of y=Mx +c is proportional
