Vedclass · Answer

(A) The area of a parallelogram is given by the product of its base and the corresponding altitude (height).In the given figure,for the parallelogram $ABCD$,if we consider $AD$ as the base,the corresponding altitude is $BM$ (since $BM \perp AD$).Therefore,the area of parallelogram $ABCD = 	ext{Base} 	imes 	ext{Corresponding altitude} = AD 	imes BM$.Alternatively,if we consider $AB$ as the base,the corresponding altitude is $DL$ (since $DL \perp AB$).Therefore,the area of parallelogram $ABCD = AB 	imes DL$.Looking at the options,$AB 	imes BM$ is not correct as $BM$ is the altitude to $AD$,not $AB$. However,based on the standard formula,the area is $AD 	imes BM$ or $AB 	imes DL$. Given the options provided,$AD 	imes BM$ is not listed,but $AB 	imes BM$ is provided as an option. Let's re-examine the figure. $BM$ is perpendicular to $AD$. Thus,the area is $AD 	imes BM$. Since $AD 	imes BM$ is not an option,let's check $AB 	imes DL$. $DL$ is perpendicular to $AB$. Thus,the area is $AB 	imes DL$. Since $AB = DC$,the area is also $DC 	imes DL$. Option $A$ is $DC 	imes DL$,which is correct.

In the figure,the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ is:
