    Study Notes

    Area of a Parallelogram

    • The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying its base (b) by its height (h).
    • The formula for the area of a parallelogram is: A = b × h.
    • The base of a parallelogram is the length of one of its sides.
    • The height of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite side.
    • When applying the formula, ensure that the height is perpendicular to the base.
    • The area of a parallelogram is measured in square units.

    Parallelogram Area

    • The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying its base and height.
    • The base is one of the parallelogram's sides; the height is the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side
    • The formula for calculating the area is: A = b × h where A represents the area, b represents the base, and h represents the height.
    • The area is measured in square units.
