Question

Find the area of the parallelogram ABCD (in sq. metres).

• A. $40{\text{m}}^2$
• B. $80{\text{m}}^2$
• C. $100{\text{m}}^2$
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Data insufficient

Area of the parallelogram = Base $\times$ Corresponding height

The area of the parallelogram given in the question cannot be found. This is because the data which is given is of a base and a height, and not of a base and its corresponding height.

The height given must be corresponding to the given base. Thus, the data provided is insufficient to answer this question.
