Question

Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallel lines. The ratio of their areas is ______.

Options

• 1 : 1

• 1 : 2

• 2 : 1

• 1 : 3

Answer 1

Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallel lines. The ratio of their areas is 1 : 1.

Explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = Base × Corresponding height.

If two parallelograms have equal bases and lie between the same parallel lines, their corresponding heights are equal, so their areas are equal ratio 1 : 1.
