Answer:

C, 34 inches

Explanation:

1. We can see that 30 is the length of one of the sides on the larger parallelogram. The same side has a length of 12 inches on the smaller one. So, we need the difference of these 2 to figure out PQ.

30 - 12 = 18 inches (the difference)

2. Add 18 to 16 (the bottom side on the small parallelogram) to figure out what the bottom side of the large parallelogram would be.

16 + 18 = 34 inches (answer C)
