Area of Parallelograms

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is the base of a parallelogram?

Back

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

Front

What is the height 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 4 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = 10 cm × 4 cm = 40 cm²

Front

What are the units for measuring area?

Back

Square units (e.g., cm², m², ft²) are used to measure area.

Front

Can the base and height of a parallelogram be the same length?

Back

Yes, the base and height can be the same length, but they are not always equal.

Front

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

Back

Area = 6 ft × 3 ft = 18 ft²

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 36 ft² and a base of 6 ft, what is the height?

Back

Height = Area ÷ base = 36 ft² ÷ 6 ft = 6 ft

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

What is the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and its dimensions?

Back

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