Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 56 mm and a height of 41 mm. The area of a parallelogram is the same as the area of the corresponding rectangle. T will demonstrate that the formula for a parallelogram and rectangle are the same by showing how a parallelogram and rectangle are similar cut of the triangle on the end and move it to the other side to make it look like a rectangle and relate the height here.
Practice finding the area of parallelograms given base and height.
Step 2 Now you can find the height by taking the short leg x 3. The height of a parallelogram is the line segment perpendicular to the base. T will model finding the area of a parallelogram using the formula. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of.
