The answer is 180mm^2. (B)

First, we can decompose the shape into a rectangle and a parallelogram. Let’s start with the rectangle.

Formula for a rectangle: bh

The base is 6 while the height is 12. You multiply like so. 6*12=72.

The area of the rectangle is 72.

The formula of a parallelogram is the same as the rectangle. (Bh)

To identify the base in this parallelogram, you would subtract the whole base length, 15 by half of the base length, 6.

15 - 6 = 9.

So the other half base length is 9.

You can simply transform a parallelogram into a rectangle by decomposing the parallelogram into two right triangles and a rectangle. You would take the right triangle at the bottom of the figure and move it to the top of the parallelogram in the photo. Thus, becoming a rectangle.

Now, we can identify the base and the height. The base of the parallelogram is 9 while the height is 12.

You would then multiply 9 by 12 like so to get 108.

After finding the area of the rectangle and parallelogram, you would add them up.

72 + 108 = 180mm^2

Therefore, making the answer choice B.

4(5x+1)(5x-1) = 0

1. Take out the GCF (in this case, 4)
4(25x^2-1) = 0

2. This can be further factored. Factor the values within the parenthesis
4(5x + 1)(5x -1) = 0
