Question
Given that 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a parallelogram and 𝐸𝐹=6cm, find its area. (Unit = square cm.)
- 96
- 48
- 64
- 42
The correct answer is: 96
96 sq cm
We know that area of a parallelogram = base x height
Given, base = 16 cm and height = 6 cm
Area = 16 x 6 = 96 sq cm
A parallelogram can be thought of as a combination of 2 triangles of equal area .
Area of 1 triangle = ½ x base x height.
Area of 2 triangles = 2x ½ x base x height = base x height.
