Vedclass · Answer

(B) Given that the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ is equal to the area of rectangle $ABEM$. Both share the same base $AB$ and lie between the same parallel lines $AB$ and $MC$.
Since the area of a parallelogram is given by $	ext{base} 	imes 	ext{height}$,and the height is the perpendicular distance between the parallel lines,both figures have the same height $AM = BE$.
In a right-angled triangle $AMD$,the hypotenuse $AD$ is always greater than the perpendicular side $AM$ $(AD > AM)$.
Similarly,in the right-angled triangle $BCE$,the hypotenuse $BC$ is greater than the side $BE$ $(BC > BE)$.
Since $AM = BE$,we have $AD > AM$ and $BC > BE$.
The perimeter of rectangle $ABEM = 2(AB + AM)$.
The perimeter of parallelogram $ABCD = AB + BC + CD + DA = AB + BC + AB + AD = 2AB + BC + AD$.
Since $BC > BE$ and $AD > AM$,it follows that $2AB + BC + AD > 2AB + BE + AM = 2AB + 2AM = 2(AB + AM)$.
Therefore,the perimeter of parallelogram $ABCD >$ perimeter of rectangle $ABEM$.

In the figure,if parallelogram $ABCD$ and rectangle $ABEM$ are of equal area,then:
