Solution

The correct option is A

DE×DC


Correct option: (a) DE×DC

We know that,

Area of parallelogram = base × corresponding height

Then,

Area of parallelogram ABCD=DC×BF

Area of parallelogram ABCD=AD×BE

Area of the parallelogram ABCD=BC×BE(opposite sides are equal in a parallelogramAD=BC)

But, the area of the parallelogram ABCDDE×DC (because DEis not the corresponding height for the base DC)

Hence, the correct option is (a)
