given :-
base of the parallelogram = 10cm
altitude of the parallelogram = 3cm
formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base × altitude
therefore it's area = 10 × 30
= 30cm²
given :-
diagonals of the kite 6cm and 9cm and formula to find the area of a rhombus is same as a rhombus, 1/2 × d1 × d2 where d1 and d2 are the
diagonals.
therefore it's area = 1/2 × 6 × 9
= 3 × 9
= 27cm²
we can clearly see that area of the parallelogram is greater than of the kite.
