Parallelogram: Area
How to find the area of a parallelogram: formula, 2 examples, and their solutions.
Formula
A = bh
A: Area of a parallelogram
b: Base
h: Height
Exampleb = 9, h = 5, A = ?
Solution
Solution (Detail)
b = 9
h = 5
A = 9⋅5
9⋅5 = 45
So the area of the given parallelogram is 45.
Exampleb = 11, h = 8, A = ?
Solution
Solution (Detail)
b = 11
h = 8
A = 11⋅8
11⋅8 = 88
So the area of the given parallelogram is 88.
