No. The height usually refers to vertical height so they could slanted to any degree (between 0 and 90 degrees).

Would all cylinders with the same height and base area have the same shape?

Yes.


Find base if height and area are given?

Of a square? (area/height=base) Of a triangle? ({area/height}/2=base) Or of some other shape?


How do you work the height out with the area and the base is given?

If the shape in question is a triangle, then Area = 0.5 * Base * Height So Height = 2 * Area / Base


Do all cylinders with the same height and base area have the same shape?

No. You can push a cylinder across its axis - in the same way that a rectangle can be made into a parallelogram. The new cylinder would have a different shape.


How are prisms and cylinders alike?

Prisms and cylinders are alike in that both are three-dimensional geometric shapes with two parallel bases connected by rectangular or curved surfaces. They both have a uniform cross-section along their height, meaning that the shape of the base remains constant throughout the height of the figure. Additionally, both can have their volume calculated using a similar formula, involving the area of the base and the height.


Rule for finding the area of a parallelogram?

The rule for finding the area of a parallelogram is a simple equation of A=bh. For this equation, the A is area, b is base, and h is height. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the shape's base multiplied by the shape's height.


What happens to the area when you increase the base by five?

When you increase the base of a geometric shape, such as a rectangle or triangle, by five units, the area will also increase, but the exact amount of increase depends on the height of the shape. For example, in a rectangle, the area is calculated as base multiplied by height; thus, increasing the base by five while keeping the height constant will increase the area by five times the height. In a triangle, the area will increase by half of that increase multiplied by the height. Therefore, the overall effect on the area varies depending on the height and the specific shape.


What is the relationship between the height and base area?

There is no relationship, in the sense that you can have any base are with any height. For a prism shape (if the horizontal cross section is always the same as the base), the base area times the height is equal to the volume.


Area of a parallogram?

The area of a parallelogram is just the base times the height. Caution! The height is not the length of the slanted side on the left or right side of the parallelogram. The height is the distance from the top of the shape to the bottom of the shape measured along the perpendicular (perpendicularly). Area of a Parallelogram = Base times Height


How do you find the height if you only have the base and area?

To find the height of a shape when you have the base and area, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle or triangle. For a rectangle, the area ( A ) is given by ( A = \text{base} \times \text{height} ). Rearranging this formula, you can find the height by dividing the area by the base: ( \text{height} = \frac{A}{\text{base}} ). For a triangle, the formula is ( A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} ), and you would solve for height similarly.


How do you find the length of the base when the area is given?

It depends upon the shape. For example, if it is a parallelogram, then divide the area by the height to get the base.


What shape do you take base times height to get the area?

A parallelogram. A rectangle is a special case with all angles 90 degrees, but same area base times height
