Area of Parallelograms

How can you verify the area of a parallelogram using a grid?

• Count the number of square units covered by the parallelogram on the grid.

• Measure the length of the base and height and multiply them.

• Use the formula for the area of a rectangle instead.

• Estimate the area by comparing it to nearby shapes.

What are the properties of a parallelogram?

• Opposite sides are equal, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other.

• All sides are equal and all angles are right angles.

• The diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other at right angles.

• Opposite sides are equal, but angles are not necessarily equal.

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

• Area = base × height

• Area = 2 × (base + height)

• Area = base × base

• Area = height × height
