what is the area of parallelogram ?

Answer 1

base x height

Answer 2

Example 1: Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters. [IMAGE]
Solution: A
A = (12 cm) · (5 cm)
A = 60 cm2
Example 2: Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 7 inches and a height of 10 inches. [IMAGE]
Solution: A
A = (7 in) · (10 in)
A = 70 in2
Example 3: The area of a parallelogram is 24 square centimeters and the base is 4 centimeters. Find the height. [IMAGE]
Solution: A
24 cm2 = (4 cm) · h
24 cm2 ÷ (4 cm) = h
h = 6 cm
Summary: Given the base and height of a parallelogram, we can find the area. Given the area of a parallelogram and either the base or the height, we can find the missing dimension. The formula for area of a parallelogram is: [IMAGE]
A where b is the base, h is the height, and · means multiply.

Answer 3

A parallelogram is just two equal triangles and the area of each triangle is 1/2 base x height. So, area of a parallelogram will be base x height.

Answer 4

The area, A, of a parallelogram is A = BH where B is the base of the parallelogram and H is its height.


The area of a parallelogram is twice the area of a triangle created by one of its diagonals.


The area is also equal to the magnitude of the vector cross product of two adjacent sides.

Answer 5

The area of a parallelogram is equal to:

the base (b) times the height (h)

The reason is, simply, if you cut off the end of a parallelogram that sticks out and put it on the other side, you have a rectangle. This works because the opposite sides are parallel (hence the name!).

Answer 6

let b= base of d parallelogram, &
h = height of d parallelogram
then, area = b*h

Answer 7

it is base*height

but u need to know or construct a perpendicular for height

more reliable way is to join the diagonal and find the areas of the 2 triangles and add them

Answer 8

base times height

Answer 9

length times width
