Answer 1

Answer:-

BSOWe have,

AE ⊥ DC and AB = 16 cm

∵ AB = CD [Opposite sides of parallelogram]

∴ CD = 16 cm

Now, area of parallelogram ABCD = CD x AE

= (16 x 8) cm2 = 128 cm2 [∵ AE = 8 cm]

Since, CF ⊥ AD

∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = AD x CF

⇒ AD x CF = 128 cm

⇒ AD x 10 cm = 128 cm2 [∵ CF= 10 cm]

⇒ AD =$\frac{128}{10}$

Thus, the required length of AD is 12.8 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

Parallelogram ABCD

pAE = 8cm

AB = 16cm

CF = 10cm

In a parallelogram, we know that opposite sides are equal.

Therefore, CD = AB = 16cm

To find the value of AD, the base is multiplied with height.

Area of parallelogram = b x h

16 x 8 = AD x 10

128 = 10AD

AD = 12.8cm
