Area of Parallelograms and triangles

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: Area = base × height.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = (base × height) / 2.

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

Front

What are the properties of a parallelogram?

Back

Properties of a parallelogram include: opposite sides are equal, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other.

Front

How do you find the height of a parallelogram?

Back

The height of a parallelogram can be found by drawing a perpendicular line from the base to the opposite side.

Front

What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and a parallelogram?

Back

The area of a triangle is half the area of a parallelogram with the same base and height.

Front

What units are used to measure area?

Back

Area is measured in square units, such as square centimeters (cm²), square meters (m²), or square inches (in²).

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangle given its base and height?

Back

To calculate the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height and then divide by 2: Area = (base × height) / 2.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Area = base × height = 10 cm × 5 cm = 50 cm².

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 6 m and a height of 4 m?

Back

Area = (base × height) / 2 = (6 m × 4 m) / 2 = 12 m².
