Answer 1

I can't see the image you mentioned. Please either upload the picture or describe the grid counts (how many grid squares along each base and the perpendicular height for each shape).

To solve it yourself:
- Area(rectangle) = base × height (count grid squares along base and height).
- Area(parallelogram) = base × height (base is the side they share; height is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides — count vertical grid squares).
- Total area = area(rectangle) + area(parallelogram).

If you give the base and heights (or a clear photo), I’ll compute which choice (100, 120, 140, or 160 ft²) is correct.
