 WHAT IS A PARALLELOGRAM ?

Parallelogram:-
A quadrilateral in which opposite
sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. As a
result, its opposite sides are also equal.
.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

because AB|| DC and AD||BC.
 PROPERTIES OF THE PARALLELOGRAM

Properties:-

1) In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, i.e. in

parallelogram ABCD, AB=CD and AD=BC.
2) In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, i.e.
in parallelogram ABCD, ∠A=∠C and ∠B=∠D.
3) The diagonals of a parallelogram are bisectors of
each other, i.e. in parallelogram AO=OC and
BO=OD.
 AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM

Area of parallelogram:-
The plane enclosed by the
perimeter of the parallelogram is called its area.

The coloured portion

shown in the figure
represents the area of the
parallelogram ABCD
 AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM

We find the area of the parallelogram by the

multiplication of one of its side and perpendicular
drawn on it.

Area of Parallelogram = One Side × Perpendicular drawn on it

 DERIVATION OF THE FORMULA

1) Draw a parallelogram ABCD.

2) Draw BE⊥AB or DC, Cut it along BE.
3) Place side BC of the cut part on AD; because opposite sides of a
parallelogram are equal, therefore BC will be covered by AD
completely i.e. point A will coincide with B and D with C while E
will coincide E′.
 4) Thus we get a new figure –a rectangle ABEE′.

We know,
Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth
Therefore area of rectangle ABEE′ = AB × BE

This is equal to the area of original parallelogram

ABCD.

Thus area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × BE

As we know AB is one of the sides of parallelogram ABCD

and BE is the perpendicular drawn on it.

Therefore we can also write the above relation as:-

Area of a parallelogram = One side × Perpendicular drawn on it
