Can a parallelogram and a triangle which have the same base have the same area?

Yes. If you drew them one on top of another, the parallelogram would be a "squashed" one that was not very high when compared to the height of the triangle. But it is eminently possible to have the two figures contain the same area and have the same base.

How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
How is the area triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
two right triangles = full rectangle That is - if you multiply height times base of a triangle, the area will be 1/2 of a rectangle having the same height, and a width the same as the triangle base.
If the base of a triangle is doubled but the height remains the same how does the area change?
Area = 1/2 x base x height The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its base (and also, actually, to it's height). Therefore, any change to the base (or it's height) is directly conferred onto that triangle's area. BY DOUBLING THE BASE OF A TRIANGLE, IT'S AREA TOO WILL DOUBLE.
How do you find the area of a parallelogram?
For a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or square (i.e. a rhombus or rhomboid), multiply the base times the height. Draw a line through the parallelogram so that it is a large rectangle in the middle, and two small triangles to each side.Now you can see that the area of the parallelogram is the same as a rectangle of the same height and width. You must use the "height" (distance between top and bottom), not the length of the slanted sides.Area = base times height. (A=bh)Area = base*heightBase x height
How do you figure out the area of a diamond?
Do exactly the same thing for a rhombus or a parallelogram A = base x height (parallelogram) OR A = 1/2 x diagonal 1 x diagonal 2
Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?
I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
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.
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.
Can a paralleloelgram and a triangle have the same area give examples .?
A triangle twice as high as a parallelogram with the same base has the same area.
The area of a parallelogram is equal to?
twice the area of the triangle with the same base an 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).
Does parallelogram and a triangle can have the same base and area?
hi my name is u will never know
How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
How is area of triangle related to parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.
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.
What is the ratio of the triangle to the parallelogram if they are on same base and between same parallels?
1:2
