Question

If a triangle and parallelogram are on the (P) and between the (Q) then the area of the triangle is (R) the area of the parallelogram.

• A. P - different base, Q - different height, R - equal
• B. P - same base, Q - same parallels, R - same
• C. P - same base, Q - same parallels, R - half
• D. P - same base, Q - different height, R - half

Answer 1

The correct option is C P - same base, Q - same parallels, R - half

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