If you're building a garage like mine (which is not square to make the most use of the land available) you could use the area of a parallelogram when working out the amount of concrete to order for the base of the garage (knowing how thick the slab has to be).

What is the area of the parallelogram LMNO?

To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula: Area = base × height. If you have the measurements for the base and the perpendicular height, simply multiply those values together. If you provide specific dimensions for parallelogram LMNO, I can help calculate the area.


How can you use the area of a parallelogram to find the area of a corresponding trapezoid?

To find the area of a trapezoid using the area of a corresponding parallelogram, you can draw a line parallel to one of the bases of the trapezoid that extends to form a parallelogram. The area of the parallelogram is calculated using the formula (A = \text{base} \times \text{height}). Since the trapezoid shares the same height and one pair of parallel sides with the parallelogram, you can find the area of the trapezoid by subtracting the area of the triangular sections outside the trapezoid from the area of the parallelogram. This approach effectively utilizes the relationship between the two shapes to derive the trapezoid's area.


What are the formula will you use to find the area of parallelogram?

Area = Base x Height A = B x H


How is the formula for the area of trapezoid related to the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height

What is the length of the base of a parallelogram with an area of 36 cm square and a height of 4.5 cm?

Well, darling, to find the base of a parallelogram, you use the formula area = base x height. Since the area is 36 cm square and the height is 4.5 cm, you plug those in and solve for the base. So, the base of this sassy parallelogram is 8 cm.


How do you figure out the area of parallelogram?

To calculate the area of a parallelogram, you use the formula: Area = base × height. The base is the length of one of the sides, and the height is the perpendicular distance from that base to the opposite side. Make sure the height is measured at a right angle to the base for an accurate calculation.
