Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find if the area of these shapes are 24, we need to first find the area

A. Triangle: Base of 8 feet, Height of 3 feet

Formula for area of triangle: Base x height x 1/2

8 x 3 x 1/2 --> 24 x 1/2 --> 12

Not an answer

B. Rectangle: Width of 4 feet, Length of 6 feet

Formula for area of rectangle: Length x width

4 x 6 --> 24

It is an answer

C. Parallelogram: Base of 12 feet, Height of 2 feet

Formula for area of Parallelogram: Base x height

12 x 2 --> 24

It is an answer

D. Triangle: Base of 6 feet, height of 8 feet

Formula for area of triangle: Base x height x 1/2

6 x 8 x 1/2 --> 48 x 1/2 --> 24

It is an answer

In conclusion, the statements that make this rule true are:
