Intuition for why the area of a parallelogram is A = b h The formula for the area of a parallelogram is base times height, just like the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Discover the magic of geometry! The area of a rectangle and a parallelogram can be calculated in the same way. Just multiply the base by the height! This simple trick works because a …

The area of a parallelogram is base x height, so just multiply them. For example, if you have a parallelogram with a base of 7 and the height of 3, then its area is 7 x 3 = 21.

Practice finding the area of parallelograms given base and height.

Learn to use the formula, A=bh to find the area of parallelograms. Created by Sal Khan.

In math, we can find the area of a parallelogram by multiplying the base by the height. The base is one side, and the height is the distance from the base to the opposite side. So, if the base is …

Area and perimeter help us measure the size of 2D shapes. We’ll start with the area and perimeter of rectangles. From there, we’ll tackle trickier shapes, such as triangles and circles.

In this lesson, we learned that the area of a parallelogram equals the base times the height. Given an area of 24 units and a base of 6 units, we used this formula to find the missing height.

The area of a rectangle and a parallelogram is found by multiplying the base by the height. For a triangle, the area is half of a parallelogram's, so it's calculated by multiplying the base by the …
