What else can I help you with?
Can you simplify the area of a parallelogram?
It is base*vertical distance between top and bottom (the perpendicular height).
What is parallelogram height?
It is the perpendicular distance from the top or bottom of the parallelogram to the opposite side.
What is parallelogram none of the sides are the same length?
A parallelogram is a four sided quadrilateral and it has 2 same congruent sides. The top and the bottom.
What does parallelogram look like?
it looks like a square with two even slants and a base that is wider than the top.
How would you construct an isosceles trapezoid given the length of the top and the bottom and the length of the diagonal?
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Within an isosceles trapezoid, the angles at the base will be identical, and the two sides will be congruent. If you have the length of the base and the top, and the length of the diagonal, you can build this figure. Draw a line for the base, as you already know its length. Then set your compass to the length of the diagonal. With that length set, place your compass on each end of the base you drew, and draw an arc starting along the line of the base and going up to a point straight up from the point of the compass, which is on the end of the base. The top of your isosceles trapezoid will have endpoints on these arcs and (naturally) be parallel to the base. With the base drawn and the two arcs scribed, find the difference between the length of the base and the length of the top of the trapezoid. With the difference calculated, divide this length in half, and measure in from the endpoints of your base and mark this point. The endpoints of the top of the trapezoid will be on a line that is the verticle from these points you marked. Make a right angle at the points, and then draw a line vertically to the arcs you scribed. Where the verticals intersect the arcs will be the endpoints of the top of the trapezoid. With those points now discovered, draw a line from one of them to the other, and that will be the top of your trapezoid. You have drawn your isosceles trapezoid from the dimensions of its base, top and its diagonal.
Area of a parallogram?
The area of a parallelogram is just the base times the height. Caution! The height is not the length of the slanted side on the left or right side of the parallelogram. The height is the distance from the top of the shape to the bottom of the shape measured along the perpendicular (perpendicularly). Area of a Parallelogram = Base times Height
Can you simplify the area of a parallelogram?
It is base*vertical distance between top and bottom (the perpendicular height).
How do you find the area of a parrallelagram?
To get the area of a parallelogram a person must multiply the height by the base. The height must be found by making a perpendicular line from the base of the parallelogram.
What is parallelogram height?
It is the perpendicular distance from the top or bottom of the parallelogram to the opposite side.
What is the length of the perpendicular line segment from the base to the top of a plane or solid figure?
It's the height.
How do you the area of a parrellogram?
Multiply the base times the height make sure when measuring for height you go fom a corner to the top to find the right height that you are looking for. Have fun!:- )
How 2 find area of a parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram you have to find the height, which is not the slanted side, to find the height you have have to draw a line down from the highest point to the base so it forms a perpendicular line on both the top and bottom sides. Then from here you just do base times height and that's your area.
What is parallelogram none of the sides are the same length?
A parallelogram is a four sided quadrilateral and it has 2 same congruent sides. The top and the bottom.
How do you find the area of a parallelogram?
For a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or square (i.e. a rhombus or rhomboid), multiply the base times the height. Draw a line through the parallelogram so that it is a large rectangle in the middle, and two small triangles to each side.Now you can see that the area of the parallelogram is the same as a rectangle of the same height and width. You must use the "height" (distance between top and bottom), not the length of the slanted sides.Area = base times height. (A=bh)Area = base*heightBase x height
What shape has perpendicular and parallel?
A square and a rectangle have perpendicular and parallel lines. The two side lines extending upwards from the base line are perpendicular to the base line. The line extending from each of the side lines across the top is perpendicular to the side lines. The top line is also parallel to the base line, and the side lines are also parallel to each other.
What shape has parallel lines and perpendicular lines?
A square and a rectangle have perpendicular and parallel lines. The two side lines extending upwards from the base line are perpendicular to the base line. The line extending from each of the side lines across the top is perpendicular to the side lines. The top line is also parallel to the base line, and the side lines are also parallel to each other.
What is the area formula for a parallelogram?
Area = Length x width It's the same as the area for a rectangle - base times height. If you think about it, a parallelogram is a rectangle with two triangles on either side - one with its base on top, one with its base on bottom. Through various identities, we know that these two triangles are congruent. So the area is the sum of the small rectangle plus the two triangles, which ends up being base times height.
