What do you do when you need to find the area of a parllagram?
Area of a parallelogram = length*perpendicular height
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.
Why do you not usually multiply the side lengths of a parallelogram to calculate its area?
To find area you need base and height of a parallelogram. A = BH Not all the side lengths given would be base or height. Side lengths are perfect to find perimeter but don't rely on the side lengths for area.
How do you find the adjacent angle sum of parallelogram?
You do not need to find. If it is a parallelogram, it must be 180 degrees.
How can you find the area of the parallelogram with 3 numbers?
depends on the 3 numbers. All you really need is base and height. A = bh
How do you find the area of a parallelogran with different measures on its sides?
You cannot. You need to know, or be able to calculate, its [perpendicular] height and information about the side lengths is not enough to determine that.A parallelogram can be flexed into a rectangle (when its area is maximised) to a long thin shape with area tending to zero.
How do you find the area of a parallelogram without its height?
You would need to know its side lengths and angles and then you can compute height
How do you find volume of kite prism its either a kite shape or a parallelogram cross section but i cant work out the volume?
find the area of the cross section then multiply by the other dimension (length, height, whatever you are calling it) Area of a parallelogram is base x height, area of a kite might need to be broken into triangles then added together.
How do you find aras of triangles and parallelograms?
Triangles you use : (base x perpendicular height) divided by 2. Parallelogram: you need to find the area of one of the side triangles, then double it (because there's two of them). Then find the area of the square in the middle, and add this to the area of the two triangles.
What to things do you need to know to find a area?
Length and Width. Area = Length * Width
How do you know that the height of a parallelogram is the same as the width of the rectangle?
You don't know and they need not be. There are lots of rectangles.
How do you find the base of a parallelogram if you already have the height?
Simply knowing the height doesn't tell you the base.You need more information besides, like maybe the area, or an angle.
