B= Base H= Height x= Multiply /= Divide
For a parallelogram you would do:
Area= bh x 2
So the base X height, then x 2
For a triangle:
Area= bh/ 2
So the base x height then / 2

The side of a triangle or parallelogram used to help find area is called the base. Area is base times height in a parallelogram. In a triangle, it is 1/2 times base times height.
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
you do it because the triangle is half the size of the parallelogram
The answer depends on how the parallelogram in the triangle is constructed.
It is the base.
