Question

If the parallel sides of a parallelogram are 2 cm apart & their sum is 10 cm. Then it's area is​

Answer 1

We know,

$\boxed{\bf Area\:of\:a\:parallelogram\:(A)=breadth\:(b)\times height\:(h)}$

As per the question,

In order to find the breadth(b), we have to divide the sum by the height.

Given,

• Sum = 10 cm

• Height (h) = 2 cm

So,

Breadth (b) = 10/2

⇒ Breadth  = 5 cm

Therefore,

Area of parallelogram = b × h

⇒ Area = 5 × 2

⇒ Area = 10 cm²

$\huge\boxed{\bf Area\:of\:Parallelogram=10\:cm^2}$
