The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height. So the area of a parallelogram will always be 2 times bigger than a triangle with the same base and height.

When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and a rectangle?
The relationship between the area of a triangle and a rectangle is a Triangle is base times height divided by 2. Area of a rectangle is length times height.
Formulae for area of circle triangle parallelogram and rectangle?
Area circle: π × radius² Area triangle: ½ × base × height Area Parallelogram: base × height Area: Rectangle: length × width In a triangle, the base is any side between two vertices and the height is the perpendicular distance from this side to the third vertex. In a parallelogram the base is any side. The height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the side parallel to it.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a triangle with the same base and height?
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.
How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for an area of a parallelogram?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
When solving for the area of a parallelogram what relationship must exist between the height and base?
area of a parallelogram=base*height(base multiplied by height).here "height" denotes the perpendicular distance between those two parallel sides one of which is taken as the base.
What is a side of a triangle or parallelogram which is used to help find the area called?
The side of a triangle or parallelogram used to help find area is called the base. Area is base times height in a parallelogram. In a triangle, it is 1/2 times base times height.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).
Why is the area of a triangle base times length divided by 2?
Because base times height = the area of a parallelogram and a triangle's area is half that of the parallelogram that the triangle exactly fits into.
What angle does the height intersect with the base of a parallelogram?
The height is a perpendicular angle from the base. The sides of the parallelogram are slanted tho and this will vary for every parallelogram. To find the height you typically make a triangle with one of the slanted sides.
The area of a parallelogram is equal to?
twice the area of the triangle with the same base an height.
What is the relationship between the height and the base of a triangle?
There is no relationship. Knowing the length of one of them doesn't tell you the length of the other one.
