Question
In the following figure, the area of parallelogram ABCD is ______.
Options
AB × BM
BC × BN
DC × DL
AD × DL
Solution
In the following figure, the area of parallelogram ABCD is DC × DL.
Explanation:
We know that, area of parallelogram is the product of its any side and the corresponding altitude (or height).
Here, when AB is base, then height is DL.
Area of parallelogram = AB × DL and when AD is base, then height is BM.
Area of parallelogram = AD × BM When DC is base, then height is DL.
Area of parallelogram = DC × DL and when BC is base, then height is not given.
