Question

One side of a parallelogram is 20 cm and its distance from the opposite side is
16 cm. Find the area of the parallelogram.

area of parallelogram = base × height ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The side given as 20cm will be considered as base.

The distance between the opposite side and bas will be height.

Base × Height = 20 × 16 = 320cm²

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Given

Length of Base of the Parallelogram ⇒ 20 cm

Length of Height of the Parallelogram ⇒ 16 cm

Area of Parallelogram ⇒ Base × Height

$\rule{300}{1}$

To find

Area of the given parallelogram

$\rule{300}{1}$

Solution

Area of Given Parallelogram

⇒ 20 × 16  

⇒ 320 cm

∴ The area of the given parallelogram is 320 cm.

$\rule{300}{1}$

Additional Information

A quadrilateral is a 4-sided closed polygon. It consists of 4 vertices, 4 angles and 4 sides. The sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.

Square, rectangle, parallelogram, kite, rhombus, trapezium, etc are some quadrilaterals.

Perimeter of Quadrilateral

Square ⇒ Side × 4

Rectangle ⇒ 2 (Length × Breadth)

Rhombus ⇒ Side × 4

Trapezium ⇒ Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3 + Side 4

Parallelogram ⇒ 2 (Side 1 + Side 2)

Kite ⇒ 2 (Side 1 + Side 2)

Area of Quadrilateral

Square ⇒ Side²

Rectangle ⇒ Length × Breadth

Rhombus ⇒ $\dfrac{d_{1}d_{2}}{2}$

Trapezium ⇒ $\dfrac{a+b}{2} h$

Parallelogram ⇒ Base × Height

Kite ⇒ $\dfrac{pq}{2}$

$\rule{300}{1}$
