How is area of triangle related to parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a triangle with the same base and height?
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.
Why is the area of a triangle base times length divided by 2?
Because base times height = the area of a parallelogram and a triangle's area is half that of the parallelogram that the triangle exactly fits into.
How do you find an area for a parallelogram and a triangle?
B= Base H= Height x= Multiply /= Divide For a parallelogram you would do: Area= bh x 2 So the base X height, then x 2 For a triangle: Area= bh/ 2 So the base x height then / 2
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 triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.

How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area of a triangle with the same base and height?
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.

Why is the area of a triangle base times length divided by 2?
Because base times height = the area of a parallelogram and a triangle's area is half that of the parallelogram that the triangle exactly fits into.
How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for an area of a parallelogram?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
How do you find an area for a parallelogram and a triangle?
B= Base H= Height x= Multiply /= Divide For a parallelogram you would do: Area= bh x 2 So the base X height, then x 2 For a triangle: Area= bh/ 2 So the base x height then / 2
What is a side of a triangle or parallelogram which is used to help find the area called?
The side of a triangle or parallelogram used to help find area is called the base. Area is base times height in a parallelogram. In a triangle, it is 1/2 times base times height.
How do you know the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram?
Because the triangle is three sided and a parallelogram is six sided. Hope I helped. WINNIE THE POOH
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.
If the area of a parallelogram is 15 cm 2 what is the area of the green triangle?
That would depend on the dimension of the green triage. If the triangle was formed by joining two opposite corners of the parallelogram then it would be half the area of the parallelogram. Area of parallelogram = 15*2 = 30 square cm. 1/2 the area = 15 square cm.
