Question

A triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels. The ratio of the areas of triangle and parallelogram is

(a) 1 : 1

(b) 1 : 2

(c) 2 : 1

(d) 1 : 3

Answer 1

Given: A triangle and a parallelogram with the same base and between the same parallels.

To find: The ratio of the area of a triangle and a parallelogram with the same base and between the same parallels.

Calculation: We know that,” the area of a triangle is half the area of a parallelogram with the same base and between the same parallels.”

Hence the ratio of the area of a triangle and a parallelogram with the same base and between the same parallels is

Therefore the correct answer is option is (b).
