Question

Sort the areas of parallelograms if base(b) and height(h) are given, in decreasing order(largest on the top).

• A. b= 4 m, h = 16
• B. b= 8 m, h = 16
• C. b= 8 m, h = 12
• D. b= 8 m, h = 9
• E. b= 10 m, h = 10

Answer 1

ar of parallelogram = Base(b) $\times$ height (h)

When b= 4 m, h = 16 m
Area = 4 m$\times 16m=64c{m}^2$

When b= 8 m, h = 16 m
Area = 8 m$\times 16m=128c{m}^2$

When b= 8 m, h = 12m
Area = 4 m$\times 16m=96c{m}^2$

When b= 8 m, h = 9 m
Area = 8 m$\times 9m=72c{m}^2$

When b= 10 m, h = 10 m
Area = 10 m$\times 10m=100c{m}^2$
Arranging the given areas in decreasing order.

$128c{m}^2$
$100c{m}^2$
$96c{m}^2$
$72c{m}^2$
$64c{m}^2$
