Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Front

What is the perimeter of a parallelogram?

Back

Perimeter = 2 × (base + side length)

Front

If a rectangle has a length of 5 ft and a width of 3 ft, what is its area?

Back

Area = 5 ft × 3 ft = 15 ft²

Front

If a parallelogram has a base of 6 m and a height of 4 m, what is its area?

Back

Area = 6 m × 4 m = 24 m²

Front

What does 'base' refer to in the context of a parallelogram?

Back

The base is one of the sides of the parallelogram on which it stands.

Front

What does 'height' refer to in the context of a parallelogram?

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

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 relationship between the opposite sides of a parallelogram?

Back

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
