The area formula for the parallelogram is related to the area formula for a rectangle because you can make the parallelogram into a rectangle to find the area.
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
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
It is the same as the area of a rectangle, you simply x length by width. This is because the slanted edges kind of cancel each other out.
Nope, A rectangle is a type of parallelogram...
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
draw a parallelogram which is not a rectangle.verify that its area is equal to the rectangle on the same base and altitude
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
The area formula for the parallelogram is related to the area formula for a rectangle because you can make the parallelogram into a rectangle to find the area.
In a parallelogram, the opposing sides are parallel. A rectangle is a type of parallelogram.
a rectangle has four right angles and opposite sides are all the same length This means that a parallelogram is not always a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram, by definition.
No. The area of a parallelogram varies infinitely from the maximum, as a rectangle, to virtually zero and the angles vary infinitely from 90 degrees to virtually zero or 180 degrees as the height of the parallelogram is reduced. There is no way to deduce the area of the parallelogram at any particular point in this transition by using the area of the rectangle alone.

Because the area of a parallelogram is length times perpendicular height and the area of a rectangle is also length times perpendicular height
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
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.
