Parallelogram with adjacent sides of unequal length?
The area of a parallelogram (even with unequal adjacent sides) is still the base times the height. But the height is not the length of a side but the distance (at right angles to the base) between the base and the side parallel to it.
If the volume of a cube is 8 What is the shortest distance from the center of the cube to the base of the cube?
1.
What is the area of a parallelogram with base and height?
base*height
What is the area of a parallelogram if the base is 6.5 and the height is 1.5?
Area of a parallelogram = base * height = 6.5 * 1.5 = 9.75 square units.
What is the definition for the word altitude in math?
Altitude is the math term that most people call height. The altitude is always perpendicular to base. The altitude of a triangle is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite vertex. The altitude of a parallelogram or trapezoid is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite side. Since the altitude must be perpendicular to the base, it is the term used for figures which do not have a right angle. Right triangles, squares, and rectangles, which have a right angle, do not require an altitude because the height is one of the sides of the figure.
What is the opposite side of a parallelogram base from its shortest distance?
It is the perpendicular distance.
The shortest distance from the base of a parallelogram to its opposite side?
Its height.
What is the shortest distance from the base of a parallelogram to its opposite side?
As small as you like. Infinitesimally small.
What is the formula to work out the volume of a parallelogram?
height x base length. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
How do you find the area of a parellogram?
The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side.
What is the base of the parallelogram?
The base of a parallelogram is parallel to its opposite side.
What is the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
What is formula of a parallelogram?
Assuming that you are asking about the formula for the AREA of a parallelogram (there is no formula for a parallelogram), A = bh where A is the "area", b is the length of any side (called a "base"), and h is the "height" measured perpendicular from that base to the opposite side.
How do you solve for a parallelogram?
base x height = Area bxh=A Height is the distance directly from base to base, not the side length.
Formula of area of triangle?
area = 1/2 x base x height The base of the triangle is any side (usually one horizontal at the bottom) and the height is the shortest distance from this side to the opposite vertex. The shortest distance is when a line drawn from the vertex meets the side at 90o (the perpendicular distance).
How many pairs of parallel sides does a parallelogram have?
A parallelogram has 2 sets of parallel sides. The opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal. Examples of parallelograms are squares, rectangles and rhombuses. You can find the perimeter of a parallelogram by doubling the base+side length.
How does finding the area of a parallelogram relate to finding the area of a rectangle?
Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply.
