Question

One side of a parallelogram is $8cm$. If the corresponding altitude is $6cm$, then its area is given by

• A. $24c{m}^2$
• B. $36c{m}^2$
• C. $40c{m}^2$
• D. $48c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $48c{m}^2$

As we know,

Area of Parallelogram $=Base\times Height$

Here, $Base=8cm,Height=6cm$

So, area of the Parallelogram $=8\times 6c{m}^2$$=48c{m}^2$.
