What is the area of the figure below?

Answer:
(C)[tex]A=36 squareinches[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a parallelogram with height 3 inches and base of the measure 12 inches.
Now, [tex]Area of parallelogram=Base{\times}height[/tex]
[tex]A=b{\times}h[/tex]
[tex]A=3{\times}12[/tex]
[tex]A=36 squareinches[/tex]
Thus, the area of the parallelogram is [tex]A=36 squareinches[/tex].
Hence, option (c) is correct.
