The height corresponding to the base CD is 3 cm. Find the (i) area of the parallelogram. (ii) the height corresponding to the base AD Finding area of parallelogram Using BE as height and CD as base Here, Base = CD = 6 cm Height = BE = 3 cm Area of parallelogram = Base × Height = CD × BE = 6 × 3 = 18 cm2 Now, we need to find height corresponding to base AD Let that height be BF Our figure looks like Base = AD = 4 cm Height = BF = x Area of parallelogram = Base × Height 18 = AD × BF 18 = 4 × BF 4 × BF = 18 BF = 18/4 BF = 9/2 BF = 4.5 cm Area of parallelogram is 18 cm2 and height corresponding to base AD is 4.5 cm Show More

How to Find the Area of a Parallelogram (Formula & Video)

Three quadrilaterals, a rhombus, a square, and a rectangle are specific types of parallelograms. Suppose you built a crate to hold, say, oranges, but you forget to put a bottom on it. Two of the crate's sides are 12 inches and the other two are 18 inches. If you turn the crate so one of its 18-inch sides is flat on a table, the crate naturally leans (because it had no bottom to hold the four sides rigid). The leaning crate forms a parallelogram. If you push or pull the crate so it leans more or less, every shape it takes is a parallelogram. Its sides never change their length, but the crate's height (or width) changes. Area of a parallelogram If you noticed the three special parallelograms in the list above, you already have a sense of how to find area. Finding the area of a rectangle, for example, is easy: length x width, or base x height. The length of any linear geometric shape is the longer of its two measurements; the longer side is its base. For any parallelogram, we need to know the length of a longer side (base), and its width. This is where things get tricky, because the distance along either short side is not necessarily its width. Think of our wobbly orange crate; we could nearly collapse it flat, but its two short sides would always be 12 inches. How to find the area of a parallelogram We can name the various parts of our orange-crate parallelogram. The four vertices (corners) are A, B, C and D. The two long sides, at 18 inches, are AB and CD. Side CD forms the...

Area of parallelograms (article)

• Your answer should be • an integer, like 6 6 6 6 • a simplified proper fraction, like 3 / 5 3/5 3 / 5 3, slash, 5 • a simplified improper fraction, like 7 / 4 7/4 7 / 4 7, slash, 4 • a mixed number, like 1 3 / 4 1\ 3/4 1 3 / 4 1, space, 3, slash, 4 • an exact decimal, like 0.75 0.75 0 . 7 5 0, point, 75 • a multiple of pi, like 12 pi 12\ \text 2 / 3 pi 2, slash, 3, space, start text, p, i, end text square units Check Explain Another way of thinking why it will work is that a Parallelogram has 2 pairs of sides that are of equal length (Opposite sides have equal length). Therefore, the parallelogram will always be able to fit into a rectangle when rearranged properly => Formula of finding the area of a rectangle will work as long as we are sure that the figure that we are handling is truly a parallelogram irregardless of whether it is drawn to scale or not.
