Why is the area of a rectangle base times height?
A rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude."

How do you find the height of isosceles triangle?
Providing you know the length of its base and the lengths of its two equal sides, treat it as being two right angled triangles joined together by halving the length of its base. Then use Pythagoras' theorem to find its height.
Volume of a triangle?
A triangle is a two-dimensional shape (flat), so it has area, but not volume. The area of a triangle is half the height times the base. Multiply the height times the length of the triangle's base, then divide by 2.
Is the area of a parallelogram base times height?
Yes becauseThe area of a parallelogram can be found by multiplying the base times the height.If a parallelogram has a base of length 6 inches and a height of 4 inches, its area is 6*4=24 square inches
