Question

In the adjoining figure, area of parallelogram ABCD = 48 cm sq and FC||AB. Find, i)area of ||gm ABEF and area of ΔEAB

Answer 1

Answer:

⇒ In given figure, we can see that parallelogram ABCD and parallelogram ABEF both are lies between same parallel line that is FC and AB.

⇒ And parallelogram ABCD and ABEF contains same base that is AB.

⇒ So, we know that parallelogram on same base and between same parallels are equal in area.

⇒ So, Area(ABCD)=Area(ABEF) ------ ( 1 )

⇒ We have given Area(ABCD)=48 cm

2

From (1) we get,

Area of parallelogram ABEF=48 cm
