- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum AB = 6 cm ; AD = 4 cm and ∠ BAD = 30° 
 Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB x AD x sin 30°Correct Option: AAB = 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
-  A parallelogram has sides 60 m and 40 m and one of the diagonal is 80 m long. Then its area is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum AB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m 
 ∴ s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m
 (s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m,
 (s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and
 (s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m
 ∴ Area of Δ ABC =
 √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
 = √90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2
 = 300√15 m2Correct Option: CAB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m 
 ∴ s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m
 (s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m,
 (s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and
 (s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m
 ∴ Area of Δ ABC =
 √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
 = √90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2
 = 300√15 m2
 ∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of Δ ABC
 = 600√15 m2
-  The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 1 meters and 2 meters respectively . The perpendicular distance between them is 6 meters. The area of the trapezium is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel sides x perpendicular distance between them Correct Option: CArea of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel sides x perpendicular distance between them 
 = 1/2 (1 + 2) x 6 m2
 = 9 m2
-  One side of a parallelogram is 14 cm. Its distance from the opposite side is 16 cm. The area of the parallelogram is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of parallelogram = Side of parallelogram x distance from the opposite side Correct Option: BArea of parallelogram = Side of parallelogram x distance from the opposite side 
 = 14 x 16 cm2
 = 224 cm2
-  The cross section of a canal is a trapezium in shape . If the canal is a trapezium in shape. If the canal is 10 meters wide at the top and 6 meters wide at bottom and the area of cross section is 640 sq. meters The depth of canal is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Cross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d 
 Where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.Correct Option: BCross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d 
 where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.
 ⇒ 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640
 ⇒ d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
