    Given,

    || gm ABCD and a rectangle ABEF have the same base AB and equal areas.

    To prove,

    Perimeter of || gm ABCD is greater than the perimeter of rectangle ABEF.

    Proof,

    We know that, the opposite sides of a|| gm and rectangle are equal.

    , AB = DC [As ABCD is a || gm]

    and, AB = EF [As ABEF is a rectangle]

    , DC = EF … (i)

    Adding AB on both sides, we get,

    ⇒AB + DC = AB + EF … (ii)

    We know that, the perpendicular segment is the shortest of all the segments that can be drawn to a given line from a point not lying on it.

    , BE < BC and AF < AD

    ⇒ BC > BE and AD > AF

    ⇒ BC+AD > BE+AF … (iii)

    Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

    AB+DC+BC+AD > AB+EF+BE+AF

    ⇒ AB+BC+CD+DA > AB+ BE+EF+FA

    ⇒ perimeter of || gm ABCD > perimeter of rectangle ABEF.

    , the perimeter of the parallelogram is greater than that of the rectangle.

    Hence Proved.
