Question

in the figure, area of parallelogram LMNO is 240 sq.cm . Find the area of: i) parallelogram PMNQ, ii) triangle PMQ​

Answer 1

Let us look at the answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of parallelogram LMNO is equal to area of parallelogram PMNQ that is 240 sq.cm. as both parallelograms lie on the same base MN and between same parallel lines MN and LQ.

The area of triangle PMQ is half of the area of parallelogram PMNQ as the diagonal MQ divides the parallelogram in two equal halves.

So the answer is : i) 240 sq. cm     ii) 120 sq. cm
