Area of Parallelograms and Triangles

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (base × height) / 2

Front

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.

Front

If a parallelogram has a base of 5 m and a height of 4 m, what is its area?

Back

Area = 5 m × 4 m = 20 m²

Front

If a triangle has a base of 8 m and a height of 3 m, what is its area?

Back

Area = (8 m × 3 m) / 2 = 12 m²

Front

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 m and a width of 5 m?

Back

Area = length × width = 10 m × 5 m = 50 m²

Front

What is the difference between area and perimeter?

Back

Area measures the space inside a shape, while perimeter measures the distance around a shape.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a height of 10 m and a base of 6 m?

Back

Area = (6 m × 10 m) / 2 = 30 m²

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 7 m and a height of 3 m?

Back

Area = 7 m × 3 m = 21 m²
