Question

Find the area of the parallelogram ABCD.

Given, BC = 5 cm and the corresponding altitude AP = 8 cm.

• A. $20c{m}^2$
• B. $10c{m}^2$
• C. $40c{m}^2$
• D. $30c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $40c{m}^2$

Area of the parallelogram ABCD = $(base\times height)$
= $BC\times AP$

= $8\times 5$

= $40c{m}^2$
