Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question provided is in Norwegian and translates to:
"A parallelogram is divided into two parts, A and B, as shown in the figure. Which of the statements below is correct?"
The answer choices are:
- A) B has a larger perimeter than A.
- B) B has a smaller perimeter than A.
- C) B has a smaller area than A.
- D) A and B have the same area.
- E) A and B have the same perimeter.
Since the figure shows two sections of the same parallelogram, divided but not changing the total area, the correct answer is most likely D) A and B have the same area. This is based on the principle that dividing a parallelogram by an internal line does not alter the areas of the resulting parts.

Here are some related questions you might find helpful:
- How does dividing a parallelogram affect its area?
- Why does dividing a shape in two not alter the total area?
- What properties of a parallelogram help in solving this problem?
- How is the perimeter of an irregular shape within a parallelogram calculated?
- Can two shapes within a larger shape have the same area but different perimeters?
Tip: In geometry, dividing a shape into parts preserves the total area but can alter individual perimeters.
