Solution

Draw a line through O parallel to ADas shown.Parallelogram APQD and triangle AOD are on same base AD and between same parallels.So, Area(AOD)=12Area (APQD)Area (APQD)=60cm2Parallelogram PBCQ and triangle BOC are on same base BC and between same parallels.So, Area (BOC)=12Area (PBCQ)Area (PBCQ)=120cm2Area (ABCD)=Area (APQD)+Area (PBCQ)=180cm2
