Find the perimeters and area of the parallelograms given in figure. [3 MARKS]
Perimeter solution: 1.5 Marks
Area of paralellogram: 1.5 Marks
(i) Perimeter
=2×(l+b)=2×(10+6) cm=32 cm
Area=Base×Corresponding altitude
=(10×5) cm2=50 cm2
(ii) Perimeter
=2×(l+b)=2×(9+5) cm=28 cm
Area=Base×corresponding altitude
=(5×8) cm2 [Base = 5 cm as opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]
=40 cm2
