What does 'base' refer to in the context of triangles and parallelograms?

Back

The base is the bottom side of the shape, which is used to calculate area.

Front

What does 'height' refer to in the context of triangles and parallelograms?

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the top of the shape.
