Answer:
48 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
to find areas of unusual figures, we divide the section into more easy figures to find its area, in this case we can divide the parallelogram into two triangles, drawing a line from point D to point B
then we will have two triangles whose area is easier to find,let´s see the AB-BD-DA triangle
[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]
b= 6 units (from -6 to zero)
h=8 units ( from -4 to 4)
[tex]A=\frac{6*8}{2} =24[/tex] square units
the area of the triangle DC-CB-BD is the same,
it's the same triangle but turned up, so we have a total area
At=24 square units* 2= 48 square units
Have a great day
