Question

The figures below represents the top view of two podiums A and B as rectangle and paralleogram respectively.

Choose the correct relation between the areas of the two podiums from the given options.

• A. Area of podium A < Area of podium B
• B. Area of podium A = Area of podium B
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Area of podium A > Area of podium B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Area of podium A > Area of podium B

We know, the shape of podium A is a rectangle whereas the shape podium B is a paralleogram.

For podium A :

$\text{Area of rectangle(podium A) =}Length\times Width$
$=51\times 40$
$=2040\text{sq in}$

For podium B:

$\text{Area of paralleogram(podium B) =}Base\times Height$
$=55\times 37$
$=2035\text{sq in}$

Hence,
Area of podium A > Area of podium B
