Answer:
32
Explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is bh where b = base, h = height
This is one of the questions where plotting the points and seeing the parallelogram is vital
See the attached figure
height h = |difference between x-coordinates of A and C| =
= |6 - 2| = 4.
This will be the same as |difference between x-coordinates of B and D
base b = |difference between y-coordinates of A and B| = |1-(-7)| = 8.
This will be same as |difference between y-coordinates of C and D|
Area = bh = 8 x 4 = 32
