Question

The length and corresponding height of a parallelogram is 6 m and 8 m respectively. The area of the parallelogram is equal to

• A. $24c{m}^2$
• B. $36c{m}^2$
• C. $48c{m}^2$
• D. $96c{m}^2$

Answer 1

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

Area of parallelogram is given by
A = L$\times$H, where 'H' and 'L' are the height and base of the parallelogram respectively
Hence the area is 8$\times$6 = $48c{m}^2$
