    AB = 6 cm ; AD = 4 cm and ∠ BAD = 30°
    Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB x AD x sin 30°

    Correct Option: A

    AB = 6 cm ; AD = 4 cm and ∠ BAD = 30°
    Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB x AD x sin 30°
    = 6 x 4 x sin 30° = 12 cm2


  1. One side of a parallelogram is 14 cm. Its distance from the opposite side is 16 cm. The area of the parallelogram is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area of parallelogram = Side of parallelogram x distance from the opposite side

    Correct Option: B

    Area of parallelogram = Side of parallelogram x distance from the opposite side
    = 14 x 16 cm2
    = 224 cm2



  1. The length of the diagonal of a rhombus is 80% of the length of the other diagonal, Then the area of the rhombus is how many times the square of the length of the longer diagonal ?

    Let length of the longer diagonal = d cm
    Then, length of other diagonal = 0.8 x d cm
    Area of rhombus = (1/2) x d x 0.8 x d = 2/5 d2
    = 2/5 d2

    Area of square of the length of the longer diagonal = d2

    Correct Option: B

    Let length of the longer diagonal = d cm
    Then, length of other diagonal = 0.8 x d cm
    Area of rhombus = (1/2) x d x 0.8 x d = 2/5 d2
    = 2/5 d2

    Area of square of the length of the longer diagonal = d2

    So the area of the rhombus is 2/5 times the square of the length of the longer diagonal.


  1. In a rhombus, whose area is 144 sq.cmone of its diagonal is twice as long as the other, The lengths of its diagonals are ?

    Area of rhombus = (d1 x d2) / 2

    Correct Option: B

    Area of rhombus = (d1 x d2) / 2
    ⇒ (d x 2d ) / 2 = 144
    ⇒ d2 = 144
    ⇒ d = 12
    ∴ Length of diagonal = 12 cm, 24 cm



  1. The lengths of three line segments (in cm) are given in each of the four cases. Which one of the following cases is not suitable to be the three sides of a triangle?

    We know that in any triangle
    "the sum of two sides is always greater than its third side" and
    "the difference of two sides is always less than its third side".
    (i) 2 + 3 is not greater than 5
    (ii) |5 - 2| not less than 3
