Perimeter and Area of Parallelograms

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides.

Front

What are the properties of the opposite sides of a parallelogram?

Back

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

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 5 m and the height is 3 m, what is the area?

Back

Area = 5 m × 3 m = 15 m²

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of a parallelogram?

Back

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Front

How do you find the perimeter of a parallelogram?

Back

Perimeter = 2 × (base + side length)

Front

What is the difference between a rectangle and a parallelogram?

Back

A rectangle has right angles, while a parallelogram does not necessarily have right angles.

Front

What is the significance of congruent sides in a parallelogram?

Back

Congruent sides ensure that the shape maintains its properties and can be used to calculate area and perimeter.

Front

If one angle of a parallelogram is 70°, what are the other angles?

Back

The opposite angle is also 70°, and the adjacent angles are 110° each.
