Answer: C) x = 13</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
We have a right triangle with legs a = 5 and b = 12. The hypotenuse is c = x which is unknown for now.
Use the pythagorean theorem to find x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = x^2
25 + 144 = x^2
169 = x^2
x^2 = 169
x = sqrt(169) .... apply the square root to both sides
x = 13
Area of the parallelogram = 20 x 16 = 320
Area of the triangle on top = 1/2 x 20 x 8 = 80
Total = 320 + 80 = 400 square inches
