To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
\[ A = b \times h \]
where \( b \) is the base and \( h \) is the height. However, you mentioned a triangle area formula:
\[ A = \frac{b \times h}{2} \]
This formula applies specifically to triangles, not parallelograms.
Since you have provided measurements of 16 ft, 14 ft, and 12 ft, we need to clarify which sides represent the base and height of the parallelogram. In a parallelogram, the base can be any side, but the height must be the perpendicular distance from the base to its opposite side.
Assuming you choose 16 ft as the base and 12 ft as the height, the area of the parallelogram can be calculated as follows:
\[ A = b \times h = 16 \, \text{ft} \times 12 \, \text{ft} = 192 \, \text{ft}^2 \]
Thus, the area of the parallelogram is:
\[ A = 192 \, \text{ft}^2 \]
\[ A = b \times h \]
where \( b \) is the base and \( h \) is the height. However, you mentioned a triangle area formula:
\[ A = \frac{b \times h}{2} \]
