Let's solve each of the four problems step by step.

Question 1: Area of a Rectangle
Given:
- Length = 20 in
- Width = 9 in
Formula for area of a rectangle:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
$$
$$
\text{Area} = 20 \times 9 = 180 \text{ in}^2
$$
✔ Answer: B) 180 in²

Question 2: Area of a Parallelogram
Given:
- Base = 11 m
- Height = 7 m (note: height is perpendicular to the base, shown as dashed line)
Formula for area of a parallelogram:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
$$
\text{Area} = 11 \times 7 = 77 \text{ m}^2
$$
✔ Answer: A) 77 m²
> Note: The side labeled 8 m is not the height — it’s just a slanted side. We use the perpendicular height (7 m).

Question 3: Area of a Triangle
We are given a triangle on a grid. Let's analyze it.
From the image:
- The triangle has a
base that spans 6 units horizontally.
- The
height is 8 units vertically (from the base to the top vertex, measured perpendicularly).
Alternatively, we can count:
- The base = 6 units (horizontal)
- The height = 8 units (vertical, from the base to the tip)
Formula for area of a triangle:
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24 \text{ units}^2
$$
✔ Answer: A) 24 units²

Question 4: Area of a Trapezoid
Given:
- Base₁ = 6 m (top base)
- Base₂ = 11 m (bottom base)
- Height = 8 m (perpendicular distance between bases)
Formula for area of a trapezoid:
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Base}_1 + \text{Base}_2) \times \text{height}
$$
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (6 + 11) \times 8 = \frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 8 = 68 \text{ m}^2
$$
But wait — this answer isn't listed? Let's check the options.
Wait! The question says "What is the area of this trapezoid?" but
no options are visible in your image for Question 4.
However, based on the calculation:
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (6 + 11) \times 8 = 68 \text{ m}^2
$$
So unless there's a typo or missing option, the correct answer should be
68 m².
But since no choices are provided in your image for #4, I’ll assume you want the
correct value.
✔ Answer: 68 m²
