Question

Area of parallelogram ABCD $=60c{m}^2$, then find the area of parallelogram ABEF

• A. $30c{m}^2$
• B. $60c{m}^2$
• C. $40c{m}^2$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$60c{m}^2$

Since, both the parallelograms are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area will the same for both.
Hence, area of parallelogram ABEF = $60$ $c{m}^2$
Since the triangle and the parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area of a parallelogram is twice to the area of the triangle.
Hence, area of triangle ABC= $\frac{1}{2}\times 60$ $c{m}^2$
area of triangle ABC = $30$ $c{m}^2$
