Question

In Q.No. 1, if AD = 6 cm, CF = 10 cm, and AE = 8 cm, find AB.

Answer 1

Given: Here in the question it is given that

(1) ABCD is a parallelogram,

(2) and

(3)

(4) AD = 6 cm

(5) AE = 8cm

(6) CF = 10cm

To Find : AB =?

Calculation: We know that formula for calculating the

_{Area of paralleogram = base × height}

Therefore,

Area of paralleogram ABCD = DC × AE (Taking base as DC and Height as AE )

Area of paralleogram ABCD = AB × AE (AB = DC as opposite side of the parallelogram are equal)

Therefore, Area of paralleogram ABCd = 16 × 8

Area of Parallelogram ABCD = AB× 8 ……(1)

Taking the base of Parallelogram ABCD as AD we get

Area of paralleogram ABCD = AD × CF (taking base as AD and height as CF)

Area of paralleogram ABCD = 6 × 10 ……(2)

Since equation 1and 2 both represent the Area of the same Parallelogram ABCD , both should be equal.

Hence equation 1 is equal to equation 2

Which means that,

Hence we got the measure of AB equal to
