    In the given figure, ABCE is a parallelogram P is the midpoint of AD and AD 1. EC. If AD = 20 cm and EC = 18 cm, find the area of the given figure.

    A)  \[300\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]              

    B)  \[280\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]        

    C)         \[270\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]       

    D)         \[290\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]          

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

            We have, \[AD=20\text{ }cm\] \[\because \]  P is mid point of AD. \[\therefore \]    \[AP=PD=\frac{20}{2}=10\,cm\] Area of parallelogram \[ABCE=EC\times AP\] \[=18\times 10=180\,c{{m}^{2}}\] Area of \[\Delta \,EDC\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times EC\times PD=\frac{1}{2}\times 18\times 10=90c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Required area \[=180+90=270\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]
