Question

The figure shows a parallelogram ABCD where
AB = 10 cm and BC = 6 cm. If DE = 9 cm,
find
(i) the area,
(ii) the perimeter,
of the parallelogram.
D
9 cm
6 cm
B
10 cm​

Answer 1

Given:-

The figure shows the parallelogram of ABCD where AB=10cm and BC=6cm.

To find:-

Area and perimeter of parallelogram ​

Solution:-

As we know that the area of any parallelogram is (b×h) unit² [ where b = base and h= hight]

and perimeter of a parallelogram is 2(b+h) unit

so, area of parallelogram is = b×h = 10×6 = 60 cm²

and the perimeter of parallelogram is

= 2×(b+h) cm = 2×(10+6) cm = 32 cm

so,Area and perimeter of parallelogram are 60 cm² and 32 cm respectively. ​
