Question

In the figure if area of parallelogram ABCD is 30 $c{m}^2$, then area of ΔAEB is equal to ______.

• A. 15 $c{m}^2$
• B. 10 $c{m}^2$
• C. 25 $c{m}^2$
• D. 35 $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 15 $c{m}^2$

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

$\therefore$ Area of ΔAEB = 15 ${\text{cm}}^2$
