Question

A rectangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels. If the area of the rectangle is $50c{m}^2$, then what is the area of the parallelogram?

• A. $20c{m}^2$
• B. $60c{m}^2$
• C. $30c{m}^2$
• D. $50c{m}^2$.

Answer 1

The correct option is D $50c{m}^2$.

Since the rectangle and the parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area of a parallelogram is equal to the area of the rectangle.
Hence, area of parallelogram $=50$ $c{m}^2$
