Question

In the given figure ABCD is a parallelogram. If area of parallelogram ABCD = 708 square units, then what is the area of $\Delta BEC$?

Answer 1

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.

So, Area $\Delta BEC=\frac{1}{2}\times$ area of parallelogram ABCD

Area $\Delta BEC=\frac{1}{2}\times 708$

Area $\Delta BEC=354$ square units
