Why will a parallelogram always have a smaller area than a rectangle with the same measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the length of the 'base' times the altitude. In a rectangle, which is a special case of parallelogram, the altitude is maximum length and also is equal in length to the other side.
How is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A parallelogram is just a rectangle leaned to one side
What is the shape that has the same formula for area as a parallelogram?
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
Is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram be different?
No it isn't different because a rectangle is four sided and the corresponding angles are the same length. If you cut part of a rectangle into a triangle and put it on the opposite side it would turn into a parallelogram. You take part of it away and put it on another side that is no difference. So there is no differences about parallelogram and rectangle. (ONLY THE SHAPE OF COURSE.) Hope this helped you! >.<
What is the area of a four sided parallelogram?
If a parallelogram is four sided then it can be a square ,rhomobus,rectangle. the area of square = side * side the area of rectangle = length * breadth the area of rhombus = 1/2 (diagonal1 + diagonal2) And also, a parallelogram is always four sided.And if it is none of these ,then are of parallelogram =length * breadth
How can you find the area of a parallelogram if you only know the side lengths?
The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height. You can find the maximum area of a parallelogram by multiplying the length of a short side by the length of a long side. (This would be the area if the parallelogram were a rectangle.)You cannot know the area of a parallelogram if all you know is the length of the sides; you can only know the maximumpossible area. Imagine you slant the parallelogram a lot. The area will decrease, but the side lengths will stay the same.
What quadrilateral had two different pairs of equal length side?
rectangle,square and parallelogram in general.
Are all side of a parallelogram the same length?
Not necessarily. Usually only the opposite side are of equal length. If all 4 sides are of the same length, the parallelogram is [also] called a rhombus.
What is used to help find the area of a parallelogram?
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is the same as for a rectangle. base x height Just remember that the height is a line drawn perpendicular to the base, not the other side length.
What Is a rectangle Is it sometimes a rhombus?
A rectangle is a form of quadrilateral parallelogram, where all angles are of ninety (90) degrees. A rhombus is a quadrilateral parallelogram where all sides are the same length. The only time when a rhombus is a rectangle and vice versa is when both side lengths and angles are equal, i.e. when the shape is a square.
Is a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A rectangle is a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram by nature is a geometric shape where two sides are parallel to each other. Parallel lines run in the same direction with the same distance between them for their entire length. If the lines are extended to infinity, the lines will never intersect. A rectangle is composed of two sets of parallel lines. Two parallel lines make up the top and bottom and two parallel lines make up each side.
What is the area of a parolellogram?
It is the same as for a rectangle, the length of the shorter side x the length of the longer side
