You can calculate the area of any quadrilateral by dividing it into two triangles and summing their areas. A triangle's area is found by multiplying the base by the half of the height (when height measured perpendicular to the base)
Area of a parallelogram in square units = base*height
the base is a 2-d square with joined triangles, meeting together to make a corner at the top, the triangles height can be any height, or the square can be any size
No, because there are infinitely many combinations of base and height which will lead to that result.
I suppose by "length of a triangles altitude" you mean height. The height of the triangle in question cannot be determined from the information given. In order to determine the height of the triangle, two dimensions must be known.
The area of a triangle is half base times height so any triangles whose base times height is 60 units will have an area of 30 square units e.g. base = 10 units, height = 6 units; base = 5 units, height = 12 units; base = 7.5 units, height = 8 units.
Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area. Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.

The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base. If you correctly measure the height perpendicular to the base and you get different measurements, then you are NOT dealing with a parallelogram.
Only if the two triangles have the same base and height then they have the same area, because an area of a triangle OS the base times the height divided by two.
area =1/2 base length x height
You can't tell from the information you have. There are an infinite number of triangles, with different areas, that all have the same sum of (base + height). The area of the triangle is (1/2) times (base) times (height). You need the product of (base) times (height). If you only know their sum, you have no way to find their product.
No, a triangles area is calculated from base x height / 2
False. The equation for area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. The height and the base would have to be the same for two triangles to have the same area.
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
half of the base multipled by the height
Half of the base times height.
