Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallels. The ratio of their areas is

We know that any two or parallelogram having the same base and lying between the same parallel lines are equal in area.


Consider two ||gms ABCD and PQRS which are on same base and lie between same parallel lines.


ar(||gm ABCD) = ar(||gm PQRS) –1


ar(||gm ABCD ) : ar(||gm PQRS) = 1:1 ( eq –1)
