Correct Answer: 60 cm 2
Solution : In $\triangle$ABC, AB = 12 cm, BC = 5 cm and AC = 13 cm The semiperimeter ($s$) = $\frac{12+5+13}{2}$ = 15 cm So, the area of $\triangle$ABC = $\sqrt{15(15-13)(15-12)(15-5)}$ = $\sqrt{15×2×3×10}$ = 30 cm 2 Now, the area of the parallelogram ABCD = 2 × the area of $\triangle$ABC = 2 × 30 = 60 cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 60 cm 2 .
