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 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.
How do calculate the area of a triangle?
What you do is you multiply the base by the height then you must half your answer. Eg: A triangle with a base of 2 cm and a height of 4cm, you would do 2x4=8 then half your answer to get 4cm squared.
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.
The area of a parallelogram is 288 square inches If the height is 12 inches how long is the base?
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base x height, therefore the formula for the base is: base = A ÷ height base = 288in2 ÷ 12in base = 24in
