☀ According to the question, there is a parallelogram given and it named as PQRS . Guys, I attach a figure as attachment here, kindly see it too to understand the question properly.

☀ As PQRS is a parallelogram. QM is the height of this parallelogram. SR is base here. QM is the perpendicular from Q to SR and QN is the perpendicular from PS If SR measure 12 cm and QM measure 6 cm, find the area of a parallelogram PQRS . Also find QN if PA measure 4 cm.

☀ What to find out?

We have to find out the area of this parallelogram.

And we have to find the measurement of QN too if PS is given as 4 centimetres.

$\begin{gathered}\bigstar \sf Area \: is \: ? \\ \\ \bigstar \sf Height \: is \: 12 \: cm \\ \\ \bigstar \sf Base \: is \: 12 \: cm \\ \\ \bigstar \sf PS \: = 4 \: cm \\ \\ \bigstar \sf Area \: is \: (Have \: to \: find)\end{gathered}$

${\large{\sf{\pmb{\underline{Full \; Solution...}}}}}$

~ Firstly let us find the area of the parallelogram..!

↝ Area = Base × Height

↝ Area = 12 × 6

↝ Area = 72 cm²

Henceforth, 72 cm² is the area of the parallelogram.

~ Now let's find the measurement of QN..!

↝ QN = Area/PS

↝ QN = 72/4

↝ QN = 36/2

↝ QN = 18 cm

Henceforth, 18 cm is the measurement of QN.
