Give your answers with a step by step explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of parallelogram is 162 sq.cm. and height corresponding to BC is 13.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two sides of parallelogram , AB = 18cm. BC = 12 cm.

Height corresponding to AB = 9 cm.

Area of parallelogram = base  × height

                                     = 18  ×   9 =162 sq. cm. (here we take base as AB)

When base is BC, then area of parallelogram remain same

Area of parallelogram = base × height

                       162 = 12 × height

                     height = 162 /12 =13.5 cm.
