Area of a Parallelogram

Front

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

Back

Area = base × height

Front

If a parallelogram has a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm, what is its area?

Back

50 cm²

Front

What units are used to measure area?

Back

Square units (e.g., cm², m², in², ft²)

Front

How does changing the height of a parallelogram affect its area?

Back

Increasing the height increases the area, while decreasing the height decreases the area, assuming the base remains constant.

Front

If the base of a parallelogram is doubled, what happens to the area?

Back

The area also doubles, assuming the height remains constant.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 15 in. and a height of 8 in.?

Back

120 in²

Front

If a parallelogram has an area of 36 m² and a base of 6 m, what is the height?

Back

Height = Area / base = 36 m² / 6 m = 6 m

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 20 ft and a height of 3 ft?

Back

60 ft²

Front

If the area of a parallelogram is 100 cm² and the height is 10 cm, what is the base?

Back

Base = Area / height = 100 cm² / 10 cm = 10 cm

Front

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

Back

48 m²
