P is any point on side DC of parallelogram ABCD. Triangle APB lies on base AB and between the parallels AB and DC. If ar(ABCD) = 72 cm^2, find ar(APB) in cm^2.

Question

Accepted Answer

36. Triangle APB and parallelogram ABCD are on the same base AB and between the same parallels AB and DC, so ar(APB) = 1/2 ar(ABCD) = 1/2(72) = 36 cm^2.
