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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the areas of first parallelogram be `P^'` and second parallelogram be `P^('')`.
As we know that area of parallelogram=Base x Height
`P^'=BxxH`____1
`P^('')=bxxh`_____2
Given that B=b
As the distance between two parallel lines is equal
H=h
`P^'=bxxh`____3
