Question

If base and the corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are $9\frac{3}{4}cm$ and $12\frac{1}{4}cm$ respectively, then find the area of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram $=base\times correspondingaltitude$

$=9\frac{3}{4}\times 12\frac{1}{4}$

$=\frac{39}{4}\times \frac{49}{4}$

$=\frac{1911}{16}$

Area of parallelogram $=119.4375c{m}^2$
