    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. A parallelogram has sides 60 m and 40 m and one of the diagonal is 80 m long. Then its area is ?

    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 m2

    Correct Option: C

    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 m2

    ∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of Δ ABC
    = 600√15 m2



  1. 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 ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel sides x perpendicular distance between them

    Correct Option: C

    Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel sides x perpendicular distance between them
    = 1/2 (1 + 2) x 6 m2
    = 9 m2


  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 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 ?

    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: B

    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.
    ⇒ 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640
    ⇒ d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
