Question: The area of the parallelogram whose length is 30 cm, width is 20 cm and one diagonal is 40 cm, is
Options:
A) $ 100\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
B) $ 150\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
C) $ 200\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
D) $ 300\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Both of the triangles made by the diagonals of the parallelogram will be equal in area.
Now, area of $ \Delta ABC=\sqrt{s,(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} $
$ =\sqrt{45,(5),(15),(25)}=75\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
Thus, area of the parallelogram ABCD
$ =2\times 75\sqrt{15},cm^{2}=150\sqrt{15},cm^{2} $
