How do you get the area of a parallelogram that has two different height measurements?
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.
The height of a parallelogram is the length of its?
The height is the length of its altitude.
If a parallelogram has an area of 115 square units and a base length of 12 what is the height of the parallelogram to the nearest hundredth?
To find the height of a parallelogram, you divide the area by the base length. So in this case, the height of the parallelogram would be 115/12 = 9.58 to the nearest hundredth.
When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?
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
How do you find the area of a parallelogram or trapezoid?
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
How do you get the area of a parallelogram that has two different height measurements?
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.
What is the area of a parallelogram with base and height?
base*height
The height of a parallelogram is the length of its?
The height is the length of its altitude.
Is it ever possible for the height of a parallelogram to be one of the parallelogram's sides?
YES. A square is a parallelogram and, its height is one of the sides. (Same goes for every rectangle, not only squares.)
What angle does the height intersect with the base of a parallelogram?
The height is a perpendicular angle from the base. The sides of the parallelogram are slanted tho and this will vary for every parallelogram. To find the height you typically make a triangle with one of the slanted sides.
Find the area of parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the length of the base by the height. The height should be perpendicular to the base.
If a parallelogram has an area of 115 square units and a base length of 12 what is the height of the parallelogram to the nearest hundredth?
To find the height of a parallelogram, you divide the area by the base length. So in this case, the height of the parallelogram would be 115/12 = 9.58 to the nearest hundredth.
What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of meters and a height of meters?
What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 4 meters and a height of 10 meters?
How many altitudes equal in the parallelogram?
The single altitude of a parallelogram is its perpendicular height
What is the area of a parallelogram with these measurements?
Area of a parallelogram in square units = base*height
What is the approximate area of the parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height.
What happens to the area of a parallelogram when you double the height and the base?
The area of the parallelogram is quadrupled.
