Lab Manual: Area of a Parallelogram - Class 9 PDF Download

Objective

To show that the area of a parallelogram is equal to the product of its base and corresponding height by using paper cutting and pasting.

Prerequisite Knowledge

  • Construction of parallelogram by paper folding.
  • Area of rectangle = length x breadth
  • Area of parallelogram = base x corresponding height.

Materials Required
Glazed papers, pencil, a pair of scissors, gluestick.

Procedure

  • Draw a parallelogram by paper folding using coloured glazed paper and name it as ABCD.
  • Cut the parallelogram with the help of scissors.
  • In the parallelogram, draw a perpendicular from a vertex D to its opposite side AB of the parallelogram ABCD by paper folding.
  • We will get a crease along DE. Dark the colour in AADE [fig (i)]. Now cut it along DE. We will get two pieces, one triangle named as AED and other one a trapezium named E’D’CB as shown in fig.(ii).Lab Manual: Area of a Parallelogram - Class 9

  • Paste this triangular piece AED on the other side of trapezium such that its side AD coincides with BC [fig (iii)].

  • After pasting, we get a rectangle E’ECD’ with length as E’B + BE = E’E = D’C = AB and breadth as E’D’ = EC.

Observation
We observe that new figure D’E’EC is a rectangle.
Area of parallelogram ABCD = Area of rectangle E’ECD’
= length x breadth
= E’E x D’E’
= AB x DE
Hence, Area of parallelogram = Base x Height

Result
It is verified that the area of a parallelogram is equal to the product of its base and corresponding height by paper cutting and pasting method.

Learning Outcome
We can draw perpendicular from different vertices on opposite sides of parallelogram and verify that the area of the parallelogram is the product of base and height.

Area of parallelogram with the same base and the same height are identical. This leads to famous theorem:
“Parallelogram between the same parallel lines and on the same base are equal in area.”

Activity Time
Verify the area of a parallelogram is equal to the product of its base and corresponding height in which perpendicular falls outside the base of the parallelogram.
