Question

Prove that area of rectangle is equal to the product of base and height

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD be the parallelogram and BL the altitude corresponding to the side AB.

Complete the rectangle ABLM.

Parallelogram ABCD and rectangle ABLM are on the same base and between the same parallels AB and MC.

ar(ABCD) = ar(ABLM)

ar(ABCD) = AB x BL (area of a rectangle = length x breadth)

Hence, the area of a parallelogram is the product of any base of it and the corresponding altitude.
