rectangle
It is base times perpendicular height.
Base times height. Just like a rectangle.
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
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.
rectangle
Rectangle
Because the area of a parallelogram is length times perpendicular height and the area of a rectangle is also length times perpendicular height
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
It is base times perpendicular height.
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
Base times height. Just like a rectangle.
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
A parallelogram is just a rectangle leaned to one side
