Answer 2

you sure because their is one spot that have a base of 5 and a height of 4

Answer 3

another error spoted their is no 104 as a choice

Answer 4

you reapeated it

Answer 5

this is wrong - Area of parallelogram 1 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 2 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 3 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 4 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches

Adding the areas of all four parallelograms together:
32 + 32 + 20 + 20 = 104 square inches

Since 104 square inches is not provided as an available option, based on the correct calculations, the closest option available is 128 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the errors, and I appreciate your patience.
