Answer 1

ITS C

Explanation:

Took the quiz

Answer 2

Area of a parallelogram is given by

`Area=base`×
`height`

The base of parallelogram EFGH is the side FE which is 3 units.
The perpendicular height of parallelogram EFGH is 4 units

Area of EFGH = 3×4=12 units square

The base of parallelogram ABCD is the side AB which is 3 units
The perpendicular height of ABCD is 4 units

Area of ABCD = 3×4=12 units square

Hence, area EFGH equals to area ABCD = 12 units
