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...
Why do the parallelogram and the rectangle have the same area?
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
How is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A parallelogram is just a rectangle leaned to one side
A parallelogram and the area of a what have the same formula for area?
rectangle
Draw a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
draw a parallelogram which is not a rectangle.verify that its area is equal to the rectangle on the same base and altitude
How is a parallelogram and a rectangle the same?
A rectangle is a parallelogram but a parallelogram need not be a rectangle and so they are not the same.
Why is the area of a rectangle greater than that of a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
Can a non rectangular parallelogram and a rectangle have the same area?
Yes.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a rectangle?
The area of a parallelogram is the length times the vertical height. In a rectangle, the vertical height is the same as the width so the area is length times width.
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.
Why will a parallelogram always have a smaller area than a rectangle with the same measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the length of the 'base' times the altitude. In a rectangle, which is a special case of parallelogram, the altitude is maximum length and also is equal in length to the other side.
What is the same about a rectangle and parallelgram?
In a parallelogram, the opposing sides are parallel. A rectangle is a type of parallelogram.
Which has a bigger area - a parallelogram or a rectangle?
A big parallelogram has more area than a small rectangle. A small parallelogram has less area than a big rectangle. The question is a lot like asking: "Which one is older, a dog or a cat ?"
