Area of Parallelograms

Front

What are the base and height of a parallelogram defined as?

Back

The base and height of a parallelogram must be at a right angle.

Front

How can you determine if a figure is a parallelogram?

Back

A figure is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram?

Back

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: Area = base × height.

Front

If the base of a parallelogram is 8 cm and the height is 5 cm, what is the area?

Back

The area is 40 cm² (Area = 8 cm × 5 cm).

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 9 cm and a height of 7 cm?

Back

The area is 63 cm² (Area = 9 cm × 7 cm).

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram if the base is 6 cm and the height is 4 cm?

Back

The area is 24 cm² (Area = 6 cm × 4 cm).

Front

Can a parallelogram have sides of different lengths?

Back

Yes, a parallelogram can have sides of different lengths as long as the opposite sides are equal in length.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a parallelogram?

Back

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Front

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

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side, which is essential for calculating the area.

Front

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

Back

You can find the height using the formula: height = Area / base.
