Front

What is the height of a parallelogram?

Back

The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Front

In a parallelogram, if the base is doubled and the height remains the same, how does the area change?

Back

The area doubles.

Front

What is the relationship between the base and height in calculating the area of a parallelogram?

Back

The area is directly proportional to both the base and the height.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 6 cm and a height of 3 cm?

Back

18 cm²

Front

How do you find the height of a parallelogram if you know the area and the base?

Back

Height = Area / base

Front

What does it mean when we say a parallelogram has an area of 24 square units?

Back

It means the amount of space enclosed within the parallelogram is 24 square units.

Front

If the area of a parallelogram is 30 square units and the base is 6 units, what is the height?

Back

5 units

Front

What is the significance of the height in the area calculation of a parallelogram?

Back

Height determines how 'tall' the parallelogram is, affecting the total area.
