Let's solve each problem step by step using the formulas:
Area of a Triangle:
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
Area of a Parallelogram:
$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$
We will go through each figure one by one.

Triangles (1–6)
####
1.
- Base = 12 cm
- Height = 3 cm
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 3 = 18 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
2.
- Base = 8.5 in
- Height = 7 in
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.5 \times 7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 59.5 = 29.75 \text{ in}^2
$$
####
3.
- Base = 9 cm
- Height = 4 cm
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 4 = 18 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
4.
- Base = 8.2 cm
- Height = 6.6 cm
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.2 \times 6.6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 54.12 = 27.06 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
5.
- Base = 8.2 in
- Height = 4.4 in
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.2 \times 4.4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 36.08 = 18.04 \text{ in}^2
$$
####
6.
- Base = 12 yd
- Height = 9 yd
$$
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 9 = 54 \text{ yd}^2
$$

Parallelograms (7–12)
####
7.
- Base = 8 cm
- Height = 4 cm
$$
\text{Area} = 8 \times 4 = 32 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
8.
- Base = 10 cm
- Height = 6 cm
$$
\text{Area} = 10 \times 6 = 60 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
9.
- Base = 6 cm
- Height = 3 cm
$$
\text{Area} = 6 \times 3 = 18 \text{ cm}^2
$$
####
10.
- Base = 16 yd
- Height = 8 yd
$$
\text{Area} = 16 \times 8 = 128 \text{ yd}^2
$$
####
11.
- Base = 11 m
- Height = 9 m
$$
\text{Area} = 11 \times 9 = 99 \text{ m}^2
$$
####
12.
- Base = 21.4 in
- Height = 16.6 in
$$
\text{Area} = 21.4 \times 16.6 = 355.24 \text{ in}^2
$$
