Parallelograms

Parallelogram - a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.



Note:
the
arrow explains to you that the lines are parallel on the dia
gram that's shown.

Base - a side of a closed 2 dimensional figure.
- common symbol is B.




Height - the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
- common symbol is h.



Area of a parallelogram
Base x Height ( bxh )





b- 6cm b x h = area of parallelogram
h- 4cm 6x4 = 24cm²



= area of parallelogram
= b x h
10 x 3 = 30cm²

area of a parallelogram
b x h =
2x4=8 m²


Here is a link to help you more about Parallelograms.

Here is a video to help you learn more about Parallelograms.

Hey Abby! Nice scribe post, you got everything we did in math. The picture are good but the video is a little weird. Iguess the video was good and little funny because it was a song. Also i couldn't get to the link. This video is a little better Abby.
