Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, if AB || CD and AB = CD is as shown in figure :

• A. 40 cm²
• B. 16 cm²
• C. 25 cm²
• D. 32 cm²

Answer 1

The correct option is D

32 cm²

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram = 2 (Area of Triangle CDE)

= 32 cm²
