If triangle and parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallel then the area of triangle is equal to half of the Area of parallelogram
Answers
Answer:
Yes that is true.
Take a triangle and align it with a parallelogram such that the half of the parallelogram coincides the triangle.
Hence the area of the parallelogram will be 2 times the area of the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it is true.
You can understand with the help of a diagram.
The diagram is in attachment. Hope this helps you..
We can also proof it by SAS congruence rule.
I am just giving some hints in a proof, you have to write it in full.
In Triangle ADC and Triangle ABC,
(I) AD = BC ( Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
(II) DC = AB ( Opposite sides of a Parallelogram are equal and parallel)
(III) Angle ADC = Angle ABC
(Opposite angles in a Parallelogram are equal)
So both triangles are congruent by SAS congruence rule.
Therefore The area of triangle is half the area of a Parallelogram.
