How is the formula for the parallelogram related to the area formula of the rectangle?
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.
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
Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
How do you work out an area of a parallelogram?
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.
Is there a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
Nope, A rectangle is a type of parallelogram...
