In the given figure, ABCD is a ‖ gm in which DL ⊥ AB. If AB = 10cm and DL = 4cm, then the ar( ‖ gm ABCD) = ?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Area of parallelogram is: base × height

Here,

Base = AB = 10cm

Height = DL = 4cm

∴ ar(‖gm ABCD) = AB ×DL = 10×4 = 40cm²

∴ ar(‖gm ABCD) = 40cm²

In the given figure, ABCD is a ‖gm in which DL ⊥ AB. If AB = 10cm and DL = 4cm, then the ar(‖gm ABCD) = ?
