A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:
The area of a parallelogram is given:
area = length × width
where:
- length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; and
- width 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.

A parallelogram and the area of a what have the same formula for area?
rectangle
Why does rhombus and a kite have same formula for area?
because they are the same shape
How do you find the formula of the perimeter of a parallelogram?
Add up the lengths of all the sides. (Same for any shape [except a circle])
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).
How do you work out an area of a shape?
The area of a rectangle is Base x Height and its the same thing as a parallelogram but the area of a triangle is Base x Height divided by 2 So unless its a parallelogram you just X all the sides.
A parallelogram and the area of a what have the same formula for area?
rectangle
How do you work out area of a parallelogram?
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is heightxbasethe reason that that is the formula is because it has th same height on both sides and the base stays the same even if it was on a unique angle and that's how you get the area of a parallelogram.The area of a parallelogram is base time height.
Why does rhombus and a kite have same formula for area?
because they are the same shape
What can you say about the shape area and perimeter of two parallelogram that have the same base and height?
That they could be congruent if they have the same interior angles
How do you find the formula of the perimeter of a parallelogram?
Add up the lengths of all the sides. (Same for any shape [except a circle])
Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?
I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).
What is a parallelogram that has the same shape but not the same size?
a parallelogram that has the same shape but not the same size called "similar". This means the angles are equal in both shapes but the sides are different.
How do you work out an area of a shape?
The area of a rectangle is Base x Height and its the same thing as a parallelogram but the area of a triangle is Base x Height divided by 2 So unless its a parallelogram you just X all the sides.
Why the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is the same as the formula to find the area of a rectangle?
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
Do all cylinders with the same height and base area have the same shape?
No. You can push a cylinder across its axis - in the same way that a rectangle can be made into a parallelogram. The new cylinder would have a different shape.
What is used to help find the area of a parallelogram?
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is the same as for a rectangle. base x height Just remember that the height is a line drawn perpendicular to the base, not the other side length.
