DL and BM are the heights on sides AB and AD respectively of parallelogram ABCD. If the area of the parallelogram is 1470 cm2, AB = 35 cm and AD = 49 cm, find the length of BM and DL.


It is given in the question that,


AB = 35 cm


AD = 49 cm


Area of parallelogram = 1470 cm2


We know that,


Area of parallelogram = Base × Height


1470 = AB × DL


1470 = 35 × DL


DL =


= 42 cm


We have:


1470 = AD × BM


1470 = 49 × BM


BM =


= 30 cm


Hence,


The value of BM and DL is 30 cm and 42 cm respectively
