Question

There was a deserted land near our colony where people used to throw garbage. Colony people united to develop a pond in a triangular shaped as shown in the figure. The land is in the shape of parallelogram ABCD. In the rest of the portion medicinal plant are grown area of a parallelogram is 200 m^2. Calculate the area where medicinal plants are grown

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 100 m^2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The area where the medicinal plants were grown is 100 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = Base x altitude = 200 m²

since PD is an altitude drawn to the base DC

Hence area of the parallelogram = DC x PD = 200

Also the pond is a triangle shaped with DC as base and PD as altitude

Hence area of the pond

= 1/2 x Base x altitude

= 1/2 x DC x PD

= 1/2 x 200

= 100

Area of the medicinal plant = Area of the land - area of the pond

= 200 - 100

= 100 m²

Hence the area where the medicinal plants were grown is 100 m²
