of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

PLZ MARK AS BRAINLIEST !

Explanation:

If a triangle and parallelogram are on the same base and have the same altitude, the area of the triangle will be half that of the parallelogram. If they have same altitude, they will lie between the same parallels. Hence the area of the triangle will be equal to half that of the parallelogram.

Let , the area of parallelogram be x cm²

So , the area of triangle is = 1/2 of the area of parallelogram

 ⇒ 17cm² = 1/2*x

⇒ x = 17*2

⇒ x = 34 cm²

So, the area of parallelogram is 34 cm²
