Area of Parallelograms
Area of Parallelograms: Area of a parallelogram is caluculated as the product of base and the corresponding height.
In the figure ABCD is a parallelogram where AL Area of parallelogram ABCD = Base X height = AD X CM = CD X AL

Theorem 1 The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and the corresponding altitude.
Given A parallelogram ABCD in which AB is the base and AL the corresponding altitude. To prove Construction Draw BM Proof Since
Hence, |  |
Illustration: I n the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram, AL ⊥ DC and CM ⊥ AD. If AB = 14 cm. AL = 10 cm and CM = 7 cm, find AD.
Area of paralleogram ABCD = DC × AL (Taking base as DC and Height as AL ) Area of paralleogram ABCD = AB × AL (AB = DC as opposite side of the parallelogram are equal) Therefore, Area of paralleogram ABCD = 14 × 10 ……(1) Taking the base of Parallelogram ABCD as AD the height will be CM Area of paralleogram ABCD = AD × CM (taking base as AD and height as CM) Area of paralleogram ABCD = AD × 7 ……(2) Since equation 1 and 2 both represent the Area of the same Parallelogram ABCD , both should be equal. Hence from equation (1) and (2), This means that, 14 X 10 = AD X 7 AD X 7 = 14 X 10 | |

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
