The area of a rectangle is <em>L x W</em>. We have to get the value of x first so that we can find the area of the rectangle.

To get the value of x
given:
<span>a. 12 & X
b. X-2 & 16 </span>
solution:
12x (x) = (8-2 ) 16
12x = 16x-32
32 = 16x-- 12x
<u>32 </u> = <u>4x</u>
4        4
8 = x

Checking:

a. 12 & X                                                          b. X-2 & 16
Area of a rectangle = L x W                            Area of a rectangle  = L x W
                                =12 x 8                                                             =  (8-2) 16
Area of a rectangle = 96                                                                  = 6 (16)
                                                                        Area of a rectangle  = 96

Just count the spaces between the points. Since it's a parallelogram, that means that length of CD= length of AB, and length of DB= length of BC, so using either length(s) is fine.
By counting we know that the length for CD is 14.
Then count the distance between D and A (or C and B). this is including the x-distance, not just the y, so we end up with 27. Then 27×14=378units²
Idk if I did this right, but I tried my best  :D
