Question

One side of a parallelogram is $20cm$ and its distance from the opposite side is $16cm$. Find the area of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Find the area of the parallelogram

Given: One side of parallelogram $=20cm$
Height $=16cm$
$\therefore$ Area of parallelogram $=\text{base}\times \text{height}$
$=20\times 16$
$=320c{m}^2$

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is $320c{m}^2$.
