As small as you like. Infinitesimally small.
Its height.
height x base length. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
base x height = Area bxh=A Height is the distance directly from base to base, not the side length.
It is the perpendicular distance.
Its height.
The shortest distance from the given information will be its height
height x base length. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
The base of a parallelogram is parallel to its opposite side.
the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
Assuming that you are asking about the formula for the AREA of a parallelogram (there is no formula for a parallelogram), A = bh where A is the "area", b is the length of any side (called a "base"), and h is the "height" measured perpendicular from that base to the opposite side.
area = 1/2 x base x height The base of the triangle is any side (usually one horizontal at the bottom) and the height is the shortest distance from this side to the opposite vertex. The shortest distance is when a line drawn from the vertex meets the side at 90o (the perpendicular distance).
base x height = Area bxh=A Height is the distance directly from base to base, not the side length.
A parallelogram has 2 sets of parallel sides. The opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal. Examples of parallelograms are squares, rectangles and rhombuses. You can find the perimeter of a parallelogram by doubling the base+side length.
Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply.
