Question

Out of all those sweets, Ted likes kaju barfi the most. In the kaju barfi (parallelogram in shape) shown in the figure, can you find the area of the surface having silver covering?

• A. 12 $c{m}^2$
• B. 16 $c{m}^2$
• C. 9 $c{m}^2$
• D. 10 $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

12 $c{m}^2$

We can see that the top surface of kaju barfi is in the shape of a parallelogram.
We know that,
area of a parallelogram = base $\times$ height

Given, base = 4 cm and corresponding height = 3 cm
Area of the surface having silver covering
= base x height
= (4 $\times$ 3) $c{m}^2$
= $12c{m}^2$
