Answer is estimate 12 square units
Step by step
An estimate is a close guess.
To make an estimate or guess, you can square off the parallelogram and create a rectangle and add your squares (or multiply 3x4) to = 12.
You can use the formula for the exact area using base x height (3x4) you get the same answer of 12 square units.
If you had a figure that was NOT on the lines you would estimate the area because you would not have exact measurements.
