Identifying Height in Parallelograms

The video tutorial explains how to determine if the height of a parallelogram is correctly labeled in relation to its base. It discusses the orientation of the shape, suggesting that if the parallelogram is rotated so the base is horizontal, the height should be vertical. The tutorial emphasizes that despite the parallelogram's unusual angle, the height is correctly labeled when the base is horizontal and the height is vertical.

What is the correct orientation of a parallelogram to identify its height?

• Base on the top, height horizontal

• Base on the right, height horizontal

• Base on the bottom, height vertical

• Base on the left, height diagonal

What happens to the height when the base is placed horizontally?

• The height becomes diagonal

• The height disappears

• The height becomes vertical

• The height becomes horizontal

Why is it important to rotate the parallelogram?

• To make it look bigger

• To correctly identify the height and base

• To change its color

• To make it symmetrical

How can you identify the height of a parallelogram at an unusual angle?

• By using a protractor

• By measuring all sides

• By rotating it to a familiar position

• By guessing

What is the relationship between the base and height in a correctly labeled parallelogram?

• They are perpendicular

• They are parallel

• They are diagonal

• They are equal
