Question

In a parallelogram ABCD, AB = 6 cm and BC = 4 cm. The height corresponding to the base AB is 3 cm. Find the area of the parallelogram.

• A. $18c{m}^2$
• B. $24c{m}^2$
• C. $16c{m}^2$
• D. $20c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $18c{m}^2$

Given, base AB = 6 cm and its corresponding height = 3 cm

Area of the parallelogram = Base $\times$ corresponding height.
$\Rightarrow$ Area of the parallelogram = 6 cm $\times$ 3 cm = 18 $c{m}^2$
