Question

If a pair of parallel sides of a parallelogram are 2 cm apart and their sum is 10 cm then its area is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer will be option (c) 10 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

given

height of parallelogram = 2 cm

sum of opposite sides = 10 cm

let one pair of sides of parallelogram = x. (since opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)

therefore 2x = 10

x = 5

now area of parallelogram = base * height

base = 5 cm and height = 2 cm

therefore area = 5*2

= 10 cm2
