The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the parallelogram given one diagonal, an angle, and the height, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Diagonal (d) = 10 cm - Angle (θ) = π/4 (which is 45 degrees) - Height (h) = 8 cm 2. **Draw the Parallelogram**: - Draw a parallelogram ABCD with diagonal AC. - Mark the height from point B to line AC as DE, where DE = height = 8 cm. 3. **Analyze the Triangle Formed**: - Triangle ABE is formed where: - AB is the base, - DE (or height) is perpendicular to AB, - AE is the segment from A to the foot of the height (D). - Since angle ABE is 45 degrees, triangle ABE is a right triangle. 4. **Use the Pythagorean Theorem**: - In triangle ABE, we have: - AE (height) = 8 cm - AC (hypotenuse) = 10 cm - Let EB be the base, then using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AE^2 + EB^2 = AC^2 \] \[ 8^2 + EB^2 = 10^2 \] \[ 64 + EB^2 = 100 \] \[ EB^2 = 100 - 64 = 36 \] \[ EB = 6 \text{ cm} \] 5. **Calculate the Base of the Parallelogram**: - The base AB of the parallelogram is: \[ AB = AE + EB = 8 + 6 = 14 \text{ cm} \] 6. **Calculate the Area of the Parallelogram**: - The area (A) of a parallelogram is given by: \[ A = \text{base} \times \text{height} \] \[ A = AB \times h = 14 \times 8 = 112 \text{ cm}^2 \] ### Final Answer: The area of the parallelogram is **112 cm²**. ---
