Answer:
Area = 672
Explanation:
First we find s ( 1/2 the perimeter )
s = (1/2)*(34 + 20 + 42)
s = (1/2)*(96)
s = 48
The formula for the area A is A = sq-rt(s*(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
so A = sq-rt( 48 * (48-34) * (48-20) * (48-42) )
A = sq-rt( 48 * 14 * 28 * 6 )
A = sq-rt( 112896 )
A = 336
The area of the parallelogram is twice 336 = 672
