how is the area rule for a triangle like the area rule for a parellogram? and how is it different?

area for a triangle is imple 1/2 base times height
and for a parallelogram its just base times height
so basically they are similar because u need base and height
buh 4 a triangle u need to divide it by 2
hope this helps
good luck

Triangle = 1/2bh
parallelogram= bh
a parallelogram is really a rectangle with two congruent triangles attached to either end, so since there's 2:
2 times 1/2bh = bh

For a triangle it's 1/2 base X height. For a parallelogram it's base X height.

that's comparable because of the fact a parallelogram is in basic terms a slanted rectangle. you detect the are of a parallelogram by making use of drawing a diagonal and finding the portion of the two triangles you in basic terms created.
