The area of parallelogram PQRS is 88 cm sq. A perpendicular from S is drawn to intersect PQ at M. If SM = 8 cm, then find the length of PQ. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Given area of parallelogram = 88 cm² And SM = 8cm Area of a parallelogram = height × base (Height is the measurement of a perpendicular drawn from one side to other) Here, Area of PQRS = SM × PQ 88cm² = 8cm × PQ 11cm = PQ
