Answer:

A. 1 over 9 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the parallelogram, including the dotted portion that extends past the actual base, is 1/2 foot.  The dotted portion is 1/6 foot; this means the actual base is

1/2 - 1/6

3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 foot

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = bh.  The base is 1/3 foot and the height is 1/3 foot; this gives us

A = 1/3(1/3) = 1/9 square foot
