Detailed Solution

Here, we have to find the area of a parallelogram.
We know that, the parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal to each other.
A parallelogram can be divided into two triangles with equal area..
We know that,
Area of a triangle = 12×b×h.
Where b is base and h is its height.
Thus, area of parallelogram = 2×(12×b×h)=b×h
So,
Area of parallelogram =  Base × altitude.  
Therefore, the area of a parallelogram is equal to  Base × Corresponding altitude.  
Hence, option (1) is correct.
