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.
Why do you have to divide the area of a triangle and not a parallelogram?
you do it because the triangle is half the size of the 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.
Why does a triangle multiplied by one half?
To get the area it half breadth by height. A simplified thought on this is because the formula for the area of a parallelogram is length by width, and a triangle would be half of this
How are the area formulas of triangles and parallelogram alike. How are they different?
They involve only the base and vertical height.The formula for a triangle is half that for the corresponding parallelogram.
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.

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.
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 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

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.
How are the area formulas of triangles and parallelogram alike. How are they different?
They involve only the base and vertical height.The formula for a triangle is half that for the corresponding 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.
E is the midpoint of ab and db is a diagonal of parallelogram abcd what is the ratio of areas of triangle Δabd to parallelogram abcd?
Either diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two triangles of equal areas. Thus area of triangle abd = half that of the parallelogram abcd. The required ratio is 1 / 2.
