Solution
We have, the base and the corresponding height of a parallelogram are (2x + 3) units and (2x – 3) units, respectively.
∵ Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height
= (2x + 3) × (2x – 3)
= (2x)2 – (3)2 ...[∵ (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2]
= (4x2 – 9) sq.units
Now, If x = 30.
Then, the area of the parallelogram = 4 × (30)2 – 9
= 3600 – 9
= 3591 sq.units
