Answer:
Area of a parallelogram = base × height
Explanation:
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal to each other. Opposite angles are equal . The picture below is a parallelogram. Notice that angle D is equals to angle B and angle A is equals to angle C.
The height is gotten by drawing a straight line from a point to form a right angle triangle. If the height is unknown you can use Pythagoras theorem to get the height when the base of the right angle triangle and sides of the parallelogram is known.
If the base of the parallelogram is 10 . 25 cm (side AB and DC ) and the height is 4.28 cm , the
area = base × height
area = 10.25 × 4.28 = 43.87 cm²
The value is already in it nearest hundredth.
