How 2 find area of a parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram you have to find the height, which is not the slanted side, to find the height you have have to draw a line down from the highest point to the base so it forms a perpendicular line on both the top and bottom sides. Then from here you just do base times height and that's your area.
How do you calculate the area of a parallelogram?
u find the area of a parallelogram by multiplying the base times the height. u can't do it if there is no height. the height of the paralellogram is the line from the highest point of the parallelogram to the lowest point. then, u put the unit of measurement at the end of ur answer and a small 2 next to that to get the correct label if ur doing homework or a test. __________________________________________________________________________ A= 1/2 x B x H A parallelogram is half the size of a square so the area has to be half of a parallelogram
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.
How can you find the height of a triangle if you have base and area?
The relation between the height of a triangle, its base and its area is given by: Area = 0.5 * Base * Height Therefore, we have: Height = (2 * Area)/ Base.
What isThe area of a triangle 4 by 7?
The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.
What is the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and a triangle when the base and height are the same?
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.
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 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).
How do you find an area for a parallelogram and a triangle?
B= Base H= Height x= Multiply /= Divide For a parallelogram you would do: Area= bh x 2 So the base X height, then x 2 For a triangle: Area= bh/ 2 So the base x height then / 2
What is the rule for finding the area and perimeter of a parallelogram?
area of parallelogram= base*height perimeter= 2(length+breadth)
What is the area of a parallelogram if the base and height are doubled?
As area_of_parallelogram = base x height if they are both doubled then: new_area = (2 x base) x (2 x height) = 4 x (base x height) = 4 x area_of_parallelogram Thus, if the base and height of a parallelogram are [both] doubled, the area is quadrupled.
The area of the parallelogram is 38.5 in.2 and the height is 5.5 in. What is 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.
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.
Can a trapezoid and parallelogram have the same area?
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
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.
How do you work out an area of a shape?
The area of a rectangle is Base x Height and its the same thing as a parallelogram but the area of a triangle is Base x Height divided by 2 So unless its a parallelogram you just X all the sides.
