Calculating Parallelogram Dimensions

Deson is decorating his wall for his birthday and has 3 square yards of space left. He needs to determine if a parallelogram will fit in this space. The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. Given the base is 1 yard and the height is 3 yards, the area is 3 square yards, which matches the available space. Therefore, the parallelogram will fit on the wall.

What is the total space Deson has left on his wall for decorations?

• Three square yards

• Five square yards

• Four square yards

• Two square yards

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a parallelogram?

• Length times width

• Base times height

• Side times side

• Radius times height

What is the base length of the parallelogram Deson is considering?

• 4 yards

• 2 yards

• 1 yard

• 3 yards

What is the height of the parallelogram Deson wants to use?

• 1 yard

• 2 yards

• 3 yards
