Question

Find the area of a parallelogram if pqrs if pr=24cm and qu = st=6cm

Answer 1

Answer:

In triangle SPR

Area of triangle = 1/2 ×base× height

1/2 × 24× 6

= 72 cm square

In triangle QPR

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base×height

=1/2×24×6

= 72 cm square

Total area of parallelogram = area of triangle spr +

area of triangle qpr

= 72+72

= 144 cm square
