Question

In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle in which CD = 6 cm, AD = 8 cm. Find the area of parallelogram CDEF.

Answer 1

Given: (1) ABCD is a rectangle.

(2) CD = 6 cm

(3) AD = 8cm

To find: Area of rectangle CDEF.

Calculation: We know that,

_{Area of parallelogram = base × height}

The Area of parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.

Here we can see that rectangle ABCD and Parallelogram CDEF are between the same base and same parallels.

Hence,

Hence we get the result as Area of Rectangle CDEF =
