CAMP, CA = 6 cm, AP = 8 cm and CP = 5.5 cm.

Question

Construct the parallelograms with the given measurements and find their area.

CAMP, CA = 6 cm, AP = 8 cm and CP = 5.5 cm. 

Answer 1

Given:

In the parallelogram CAMP,

CA = 6 cm

AP = 8 cm, and CP = 5.5cm

Construction:

Steps:

1. Draw a line segment CA = 6 cm.
2. With C as centre, draw an arc of length 5.5 cm
3. With A as centre, draw an arc of length 8 cm
4. Mark the intersecting point of these two arcs as P
5. Draw a line PX parallel to CA
6. With P as centre draw an arc of radius 6 cm cutting PX at M. Join AM
7. CAMP is the required parallelogram.

Calculation of area:

Area of the Parallelogram CAMP = b x h sq. units

= 6 x 5.5 

= 33 sq. cm
