The base of the parallelogram is 16 cm and the height is 7 cm less than its base. Find the area of the parallelogram
Solution
In a parallelogram
Given base b = 16 cm, height h = base – 7 cm
= 16 – 7
= 9 cm
Area of the parallelogram = (base × height) sq.units
= 16 × 9 cm2
= 144 cm2
Area of the parallelogram = 144 cm2
