Find the area of a parallelogram, one of whose diagonals is 40 units and the off set drawn to the diagonal from one of the vertices is 24 units? (in sq. units)
option
(a) 960
(b) 1174
(c) 1232
(d) 784
(e) None of these

• off set means perpendicular
  so area of
  base=40
  perpendicular=24
  area=1/2base*perpendicular
  parallelogram=2*areaoftriangle
  =2*(1/2)*24*40
  =960

• 2*area of triangle=areal of parrelogram
  base=40
  perpendicular=24
  area of tri=1/2*base*per=1/2*24*40=480 sq units
  area of ||gram= 2*area of triangle
  =2*480
  960 sq units
