Question

4. Paralleogram ABCD and ΔPAB are
on the same base AB andsame parallels
AB and DC. If the area of the triangle PAB
is 12 sq.cm. Find the area of paralelogram.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, both the parallelograms are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area will the same for both.

Hence, area of parallelogram ABEF = 60 cm

2

Since the triangle and the parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, the area of a parallelogram is twice to the area of the triangle.

Hence, area of triangle ABC=
