Question

In the given figure area of parallelogram ABCD is $160c{m}^2$, then the area of $\Delta DAC$ is

• A. $240c{m}^2$
• B. $120c{m}^2$
• C. $80c{m}^2$
• D. $40c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$80c{m}^2$

Area of parallelogram ABCD = $160c{m}^2$ .... (given)

Area of $\Delta DAC=80c{m}^2$ .... (area of triangle is half the area of a parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallels).

Hence (C)
