Area of Parallelograms

Front

What is the definition of a parallelogram?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Area = base × height.

Front

What must the base and height of a parallelogram be?

Back

The base and height must be perpendicular (at a right angle) to each other.

Front

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

Back

Area = 10 units × 5 units = 50 square units.

Front

True or False: The area of a parallelogram can be calculated using any two sides.

Back

False. The area is calculated using the base and the corresponding height.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 m and a height of 3 m?

Back

Area = 12 m × 3 m = 36 m².

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 24 mm² and a base of 6 mm, what is the height?

Back

Height = Area ÷ base = 24 mm² ÷ 6 mm = 4 mm.

Front

What is the relationship between the opposite angles of a parallelogram?

Back

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Front

If the base of a parallelogram is doubled, how does that affect the area?

Back

The area will also double if the height remains the same.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 cm and a height of 2 cm?

Back

Area = 8 cm × 2 cm = 16 cm².
