Area of Parallelograms & Triangles

Front

What is the area formula for parallelograms?

Back

A = bh, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.

Front

What is the area formula for triangles?

Back

A = 1/2 * b * h, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.

Front

What units are used to measure area?

Back

Square units, such as square meters (m²), square feet (ft²), or square yards (yd²).

Front

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

Back

A = bh = 10 m * 5 m = 50 m².

Front

If the base of a triangle is 8 cm and the height is 6 cm, what is the area?

Back

A = 1/2 * b * h = 1/2 * 8 cm * 6 cm = 24 cm².

Front

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 4 m and a width of 3 m?

Back

A = length * width = 4 m * 3 m = 12 m².

Front

How do you find the area of a composite shape?

Back

Divide the shape into simpler shapes, find the area of each, and then sum them up.

Front

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

Back

A = bh = 12 ft * 4 ft = 48 ft².

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 m and a height of 5 m?

Back

A = 1/2 * b * h = 1/2 * 10 m * 5 m = 25 m².

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 60 m² and a base of 15 m, what is the height?

Back

h = A/b = 60 m² / 15 m = 4 m.
