Does a parallelogram have adjacent sides equal?
A parallelogram has adjacent equal sides. Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other,Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and will never intersect. The area of a parallelogram is twice the area of a triangle created by one of its diagonals. Any line through the midpoint of a parallelogram bisects the area.
Can a trapezoid and parallelogram have the same area?
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
Is this statement true or falseThe area of rectangle ABCD is equal to the area of parallelogram PQRS?
false
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.
How does finding the area of a parallelogram relate to finding the area of a rectangle?
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.
