Soln: Given Soln: Given

Base (b) = 14 cm Length (l) = 18 cm
Height (h) = 7.5 cm
Breadth (b) = 3.5 cm
Area (A) = ?
Area (A) = ?

Soln: Given Soln: Given

Length (l) = 3.5 cm Base (b) = 12 cm
Area (A) = ? Height (h) = 5.5 cm
Area (A) = ?
Now,
 Area of the square Now,
 Area of the parallelogram
=l 2

= (3.5 cm) 2 =bxh

= 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm = 12 cm x 5.5 cm
