Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

Front

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

Back

Height = Area ÷ base

Front

If the base of a parallelogram is 10 cm and the height is 5 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = 10 cm × 5 cm = 50 cm²

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 m and a height of 3 m?

Back

Area = 8 m × 3 m = 24 m²

Front

What is the relationship between the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram with the same base and height?

Back

They have the same area.

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 36 cm² and a base of 6 cm, what is the height?

Back

Height = 36 cm² ÷ 6 cm = 6 cm

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 in and a height of 4 in?

Back

Area = 12 in × 4 in = 48 in²

Front

Can the area of a parallelogram be negative?

Back

No, the area of a parallelogram is always a positive value.

Front

What happens to the area of a parallelogram if the height is doubled?

Back

The area is also doubled.
