Answer:
Area of parallelogram is equal to the product of base and height, the area is the product of
and r, or
.
Explanation:
We are finding the area of a circle by an alternative method.
What we do is split the circle into multiple sectors and then arrange them in the form of a parallelogram and find the area of this parallelogram.
Area of parallelogram = base
Hence area is the product of base and height.
Base =
Height = r
Area is the product of
and r =
