Compare your answer with the correct one above
You can solve the area of a parallelogram when you know the lengths of each of the sides. True or False?
The area of a parallelogram is found by computing . In this situation, you would have the base which is the bottom side but you would not have the height measurement. Since you would not be able to solve for the area with just the side lengths, the statement is
.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
If a parallelogram has side lengths of and
, what is the area?
To find the area of a parallelogram, you use the formula,
.
Since the height in this problem is not known, you cannot solve for area.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches.
To find the area of a parallelogram, we will use the following formula:
where b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.
Now, we know the base has a length of 6 inches. We also know it has a height of 9 inches. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
