let ABCD be the given parallelogram area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC) now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42 Area of triangle ABC = s s - a s - b s - c = 42 12 28 2 = 168sq m area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m
Original area = ?(d/2)2= (?d2) / 4New area = ?(2d/2)2= ?d2Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)= 3?d2/4? Required increase percent = [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%= 300%
