1.	2. There was a deserted land near a colony where peopleused to throw garbage. Colony people united to developa pond in triangular shape as shown in figure. The landis in the shape of a parallelogram ABCD. In the restof the portion medicinal plants are grown. Area of theparallelogram is 200 m2.(a) Calculate the area where medicinal plants are grown.
Answer» (i) Deserted land is in the shape of a parallelogram of area 200 m^2.Triangular portion of the land has the same base as the deserted land.If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.Therefore, area of the triangular portion where medicinal plants are grown is equal to 200/2 i.e. 100 m^2.
