How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a triangle with the same base and height?
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).
Why do you have to divide the area of a triangle and not a parallelogram?
you do it because the triangle is half the size of the parallelogram
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.
Why is the area of a triangle base times length divided by 2?
Because base times height = the area of a parallelogram and a triangle's area is half that of the parallelogram that the triangle exactly fits into.
How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for an area of a parallelogram?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a triangle with the same base and height?
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.
Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?
I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).

Why is the area of a triangle base times length divided by 2?
Because base times height = the area of a parallelogram and a triangle's area is half that of the parallelogram that the triangle exactly fits into.
What is a side of a triangle or parallelogram which is used to help find the area called?
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.
How are a parallelogram and triangle related?
They are both convex polygons.
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 know the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram?
Because the triangle is three sided and a parallelogram is six sided. Hope I helped. WINNIE THE POOH
