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.

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


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.


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.


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.
