How do you find the area of a parallelogram if i don't know the height?
It depends on what information you DO have.
Which formula should you use to find the area of a parallelogram?
There is no exact formula to find the area of a parallelogram * * * * * It all depends on what information you do have. If you know the base length, B, and the vertical height, H, then the area is B*H square units. If you don't know H but know an angle then some trigonometry will enable you to find H.
How do you find out the area of a parallelogram?
A formula is needed to find the area of a parallelogram. It is a very simple formula which notates Area = base x height.
How do you find the area if a parallelogram?
Area = length*perpendicular height
What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 17 and height of 13?
To find the area of a parallelogram you have to multiply the base by the height. Therefore A=17∙13. Find the product of 17 and 13 which is 221. A=221. Therefore the area of the parallelogram is 221u(for units)2.
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.
How do you find the area of a parallelogram if i don't know the height?
It depends on what information you DO have.
What do you need to know to find the area of a parallelogram?
Its length and its perpendicular height Area = length*height
How do you find the surface area of a parallelogram?
The formula to find the surface area of a parallelogram is Base*Height.
What is the approximate area of the parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height.

Find the area of parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the length of the base by the height. The height should be perpendicular to the base.
How is the formula for the parallelogram related to the area formula of the rectangle?
The area formula for the parallelogram is related to the area formula for a rectangle because you can make the parallelogram into a rectangle to find the area.
How do you find the area of an irregular parallelogram?
To find the area of any parallelogram, whether it be irregular or not, just multiply the base by the height. * Ap = bh
How do you find the base of a parallelogram?
If you know its area then divide its height into the area which will give the length of the base of the parallelogram
How do you find the area if a parallelogram?
Area = length*perpendicular height
