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.
