If x = 4 units, y = 8 units, and h = 6 units, find the area of the parallelogram shown above using decomposition.

A.
24 square units
B.
96 square units
C.
48 square units
D.
72 square units

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

the answer is

a.

x = 42

y = 10
