12. Consider a parallelogram with perimeter 36. What is its area?
1) One side is twice as long as one other
2) One angle is 80 degrees
The solution even says that the base*height is one way of solving for the area. The solution says there's another way involving angles, but why would this make neither statement sufficient? The first statement is sufficient, the second is not.
What am I missing??

- A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
- B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
- C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
