Question

which is larger in area and by how much? A square with side 6 CM or a parallelogram with base and altitude as 5 cm and 7 cm.with explanation.
Answer as quickly as possible
​

Answer 1

area of square= s^2= 6^2= 36 cm^2
area of parallelogram= b*h= 5*7= 35cm^2
=> area of square is greater by 1cm^2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$area \: of \: square \: = {side}^{2} \\ = (6 )^{2} = 36 {cm}^{2} \\ area \: of \: parallelogram = \\ \altitude \times base \\ = 5 \times 7 = 35cm^{2} \\ hence \: area \: of \: square \: is \: more \: by \\ (36 - 35) {cm }^{2} = 1 {cm}^{2}$
