New Vocabulary: Parallelogram
Parallelogram: A flat shape with 4 straight sides where opposite sides are parallel, opposite sides are equal and opposite angles are equal.
9
Parallelograms
Parallelograms have a base and a height. The height must have a 90 degree angle so the slanted sides are different from the height of the shape.
10
Parallelograms
Parallelograms height can sometimes be shown outside the shape like in this example the height is 4, the base is 5.
11
Parallelogram Area
To find the are of a parallelogram - you multiply the base times the height. The formula is:
Area = base x height
12
Parallelogram Area
To find the area of this parallelogram we multiply base x height.
Area = 7 x 4 = 28 square units
**Notice we did not use the slanted side (5) to find the area.
13
Parallelogram Area
Area = base x height
Area = 6 x 10
Area = 60 square centimeters
**Notice: we used 10 as the base and 6 as the height, the slanted side (7) was not used to find the area
