Question

Q.1. Base and height if a parallelogram 12 cm and 8 cm respectively. Find its area.​

Answer 1

Area of the parallelogram is 96
`cm^(2)`.

Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with parallel and equal length of opposite sides. The diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Area of a parallelogram is given as,

Area = base x height

Thus for the given parallelogram with base 12 cm and height 8 cm, the area would be;

Area = base x height

= 12 x 8

= 96

Area = 96
`cm^(2)`

The area of the parallelogram is 96
`cm^(2)`.
