Question

In parallelogram ABCD, AB = 7.2 cm and the perpendicular from C on AB is 4.5 cm. Find the area of the paralleogram

Answer 1

$area \: of \: parallelogram \: = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{1}{2} \times 7.2 \times 4.5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 3.6 \times 4.5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 16.20 {cm}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer: 32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = b×h

= 4.5×7.2

= 32.4 cm^2
