How is the height of a parallelogram similar and different from the width of a rectangle?
MarioChu
The width of a rectangle is the same as one of its sides. That is not [usually] the case for a parallelogram.

What is an area of a rectangle or parallelogram?
width times height
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a rectangle?
The area of a parallelogram is the length times the vertical height. In a rectangle, the vertical height is the same as the width so the area is length times width.
What kind of shape has 25cm width and 12cm height?
A rectangle or perhaps a parallelogram
What is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle or a parallelogram?
It is base times perpendicular height.
What is the formula to work out the area for a parallelogram?
Base times height. Just like a rectangle.
Why would the formula of area of a parallelogram be similar to a rectangle?
Because the area of a parallelogram is length times perpendicular height and the area of a rectangle is also length times perpendicular height
Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
Why is the area of a rectangle greater than that of a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
What is an area of a rectangle or parallelogram?
width times height
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a rectangle?
The area of a parallelogram is the length times the vertical height. In a rectangle, the vertical height is the same as the width so the area is length times width.
Is it ever possible for the height of a parallelogram to be one of the parallelogram's sides?
YES. A square is a parallelogram and, its height is one of the sides. (Same goes for every rectangle, not only squares.)
How do you find the area of a parallelogram?
For a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or square (i.e. a rhombus or rhomboid), multiply the base times the height. Draw a line through the parallelogram so that it is a large rectangle in the middle, and two small triangles to each side.Now you can see that the area of the parallelogram is the same as a rectangle of the same height and width. You must use the "height" (distance between top and bottom), not the length of the slanted sides.Area = base times height. (A=bh)Area = base*heightBase x height
Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?
The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.
What kind of shape has 25cm width and 12cm height?
A rectangle or perhaps a parallelogram
What is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle or a parallelogram?
It is base times perpendicular height.
What is the formula to work out the area for a parallelogram?
Base times height. Just like a rectangle.
What is the formula for area of rectangle and parallelogram?
The area of a rectangle is simply length times width (l*w) while the area of a parallelogram is the base length times the height (b*h)
