Question
- circle all the parallelograms that have a correct height labeled for the labeled base.
problems 2 - 5: determine the base, height, and area of these parallelograms.
parallelogram base (units) height (units) area (sq. units)
Step1: Recall parallelogram area formula
The area formula of a parallelogram is $A = b\times h$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height. The height is the perpendicular distance between the base - parallel sides.
Step2: Analyze parallelogram in problem 3
Count the grid - squares for the base and height. Suppose the base is along the horizontal direction and the height is the vertical distance. If we count the grid - squares, assume the base $b = 4$ units and the height $h=3$ units. Then the area $A=b\times h=4\times3 = 12$ square units.
Step3: Analyze parallelogram in problem 4
Count the grid - squares for the base and height. Let the base be along the slanted side's horizontal projection. If we count carefully, assume the base $b = 6$ units and the height $h = 1$ unit. Then the area $A=b\times h=6\times1=6$ square units.
Step4: Analyze the last parallelogram
Suppose the base is along the horizontal side. If we count the grid - squares, assume the base $b = 5$ units and the height $h = 3$ units. Then the area $A=b\times h=5\times3 = 15$ square units.
