Answer:
(C) 90
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a combination of two parallelograms. So, to find the area of the whole figure, all you have to do is find the area of each parallelogram separately (they happen to be the same in this problem) and then add them up. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is <u>A = base*height</u>. In each parallelogram, the base is 15 in., and the height is 3 in. Therefore, the area of each parallelogram is 45 and the area of the whole figure is 90
.
