Question
Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallels. The ratio of their areas is ______.
Options
1 : 2
1 : 1
2 : 1
3 : 1
Solution
Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallels. The ratio of their areas is 1 : 1.
Explanation:
We know that, parallelogram on the equal bases and between the same parallels are equal in area.
So, ratio of their areas is 1 : 1.
