area of a parallelogram=base*height(base multiplied by height).

here "height" denotes the perpendicular distance between those two parallel sides one of which is taken as the base.

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 calculate the height of a parallelogram?

That depends upon what you know about the parallelogram. If you know the area and base length, then: area of parallelogram = base X height height =area / base If you know the lengths of the two pairs of parallel sides and the angles, then trigonometry can be used. If the height is required between one pair of sides, then: height = other_side_length / sine(angle_between_sides)


Formulae for area of circle triangle parallelogram and rectangle?

Area circle: π × radius² Area triangle: ½ × base × height Area Parallelogram: base × height Area: Rectangle: length × width In a triangle, the base is any side between two vertices and the height is the perpendicular distance from this side to the third vertex. In a parallelogram the base is any side. The height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the side parallel to it.


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.


Can you simplify the area of a parallelogram?

It is base*vertical distance between top and bottom (the perpendicular height).

What is the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and a triangle when the base and height are the same?

The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height. So the area of a parallelogram will always be 2 times bigger than a triangle with the same base and height.


What is the connection between the length and the height of a parallelogram and its area?

Its area is equal to its length, multiplied by its height


What is the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and the area of a trapezium?

The formulae are quite similar; you multiply base x height, where the height is perpendicular to the base. In the case of a trapezium, you need to calculate the average of the two bases first.
