Question

A triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallel. The area of triangle is $54c{m}^2$. Find the area of parallelogram.

• A. $54c{m}^2$
• B. $108c{m}^2$
• C. $27c{m}^2$
• D. $28c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $108c{m}^2$

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallel, then the area of parallelogram would be twice of area of triangle.

Given, area of the triangle = 54 cm${}^2$

$\therefore$Area of the parallelogram = $54\times 2$
= 108 cm${}^2$
