Given:

PQ ∥ RS

PQ = 14 cm

TR = 8 cm

area of ΔPST = 54 cm2

Formula Used:

Area of parallelogram = Height × Base

Area of triangle = 1/2 × Height × Base

Calculation: 

PQ = SR = 14 cm

SR = ST + TR

⇒ 14 = ST + 8 cm

⇒ ST = 6 cm

Area of triangle = 1/2 × Height × Base

⇒ 54 = 1/2 × 6 × Height

⇒ Height = 18 cm

Area of parallelogram = 18 × 14 cm2

⇒ 252 cm2

∴ Area of parallelogram is 252 cm2
