Question

the area of the parallelogram is 9.68 hectares and the length of one of its diagonal is 440m find the distance of the diagonal form either of the other two vertices​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangle and area of congruent triangle are equal.

So, for one of the triangles, if the diagonal is the base, then the perpendicular distance is the height.

Area of each triangle =

× base × height =

×6.8×7.5=25.5sqcm

So, area of the parallelogram =2×25.5=51sqcm
