Given
DE ⊥ AB
DF ⊥ BC
AB = 30cm
DF = 12cm
DE = 8cm
To find
Length of BC
Solution
We know that to find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula
Area of a Paralellogram = Base × Height
Now, taking the paralleograms area with base AB and height DE.
ar(ABCD) = bh
ar(ABCD) = AB × DE
ar(ABCD) = 30 × 8
ar(ABCD) = 240cm² → 1
Now, we can also see that there is another pair of base and height. By using their values, we will try to find out BC
We already know that the area of ABCD is 240cm² so we substitute it in this formula
Here, BC is the base and DF is the height
ar(ABCD) = bh
ar(ABCD) = BC × DF
240 = BC × 12
= BC
20 = BC
∴ BC = 20cm
