Question

If the area of the triangle PQR is 12 cm2, find the area of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

24cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

AR of IIgm IS 2ar of triangle

Answer 2

Answer:

$$24\text{cm}^{2}$$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula  used:

The formula for the area of the triangle is $$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot{bh}$$ and the formula of the area of the parallelogram is $$A={bh}$$ where $$b$$ is the base and $$h$$ is the height of the triangle and parallelogram.

Given:

The area of the triangle is $$12\text{cm}^{2}$$.

Solution:

It can be observed from the written formulas that the area of the parallelogram is twice the area of the triangle.

Multiply the area of triangle by 2 to obtain the area of the parallelogram.

$$\begin{aligned}\text{Area of the parallelogram}&=2\cdot12&=24\end{aligned}$$

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is $$24\text{cm}^{2}$$.
