Question
Janaki has a piece of fabric in the shape of a parallelogram. Its height is 12 m and its base is 18 m. She cuts the fabric into four equal parallelograms by cutting the parallel sides through its mid-points. Find the area of each new parallelogram
Solution
Area of a parallelogram = (base × height) sq.units
Base length = `18/2` = 9 m
Height = `12/2` = 6 m
Area = 9 × 6 = 54 m2
Area of each parallelogram = 54 m2
