Area of Parallelogram Part 1

Front

What is the formula to find the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = Base × Height

Front

Define 'Base' in the context of a parallelogram.

Back

The base of a parallelogram is any one of its sides, typically the bottom side used in calculations.

Front

What is 'Height' in a parallelogram?

Back

Height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Front

If the base of a parallelogram is 4 units and the height is 7 units, what is the area?

Back

Area = 4 units × 7 units = 28 square units.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 5 units and a height of 6 units?

Back

Area = 5 units × 6 units = 30 square units.

Front

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

Back

Height = Area ÷ Base.

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 24 cm² and a base of 4 cm, what is the height?

Back

Height = 24 cm² ÷ 4 cm = 6 cm.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 10 units and a height of 2 units?

Back

Area = 10 units × 2 units = 20 square units.

Front

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

Back

Both base and height are essential; the area is directly proportional to both.

Front

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

Back

The area also doubles if the height remains the same.
