Answer 1

`y=28`

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Please refer to the attachment below.

So, notice that to find y, we simply need to determine x.

Remember that the area of a parallelogram is given by bh.

We can see that our base is x.

And our height h is half of 14. Therefore, h=7.

So, the area of one parallelogram is:

`A=7x`

Then the area of four parallelograms is:

`A=4(7x)=28x`

Since the total area of the shape is 308 squared centimeters. This means that:

`308=28x`

Therefore:

`x=11`

Then it follows that:

`\begin{aligned} y&=2x+6\\ &=2(11)+6 \\ &=22+6 \\ &=28\end{aligned}`
