Question

ABCD is a parallelogram. The length of the sides AB = 12cm and AD = 8cm. The height corresponding to the side AB is DL = 4cm. Find (i) The area of the parallelogram ABCD, (ii) The length of BM.

Answer 1

a, 48cm^2

b. 6 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the area of the parallelogram is shown below:

As we know that

Area of the paralleloogram is

= Base × height

= 12 cm × 4 cm

= 48 cm^2

And, the length of BM is

= 48 ÷ 8

= 6 cm
