Question

The two sides of the parallelogram ABCD are 6 cm and 4 cm. The heightcorresponding to the base CD is 3 cm (Fig 11.19). Find the(i) area of the parallelogram.  (ii) the height corresponding to the base AD.

Answer 1

Area = `b xx h = 6 xx 3 = 18 cm^2`
let x be corresponding height from base AD
area = `4 xx x = 8 cm^2`
`x = 18/4 = 4.5 cm`
