Question:
Two parallelograms stand on equal bases and between the same parallels. The ratio of their areas is
(a) 1 : 2
(b) 2 : 1
(c) 1 : 3
(d) 1 : 1
Solution:
(d) 1:1
Area of a parallelogram = base ⨯ height
If both parallelograms stands on the same base and between the same parallels, then their heights are the same.
So, their areas will also be the same.
