Description : The lengths of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 17 cm and 12 cm. -Maths 9th
Last Answer : For △BCD: Let a = 17 cm, b = 12 cm, c = 25 cm So its semi-perimeter, s = (a + b + c)/2 = (17 + 12 + 25)/2 = 27 cm ∴ Area of △BCD = root under(√(s -a)(s - b)(s - c)) = ... △BCD = 2 x 90 = 180 cm2 Also, area of parallelogram ABCD = DC x AE ∴ 180 = 12 x AE ⇒ AE = 180/12 = 15 cm
