10.2. Area of a Parallelogram http://www.ck12.org
Example A
Find the area of the parallelogram.
A= 15 · 8 = 120 in^2
Example B
If the area of a parallelogram is 56units^2 and the base is 4 units, what is the height?
Plug in what we know to the area formula and solve for the height.
56 = 4 h
14 =hExample C
If the height of a parallelogram is 12mand the area is 60m^2 , how wide is the base?
Solve for the base inA=bh.
60 units= 12 b
5 units=bWatch this video for help with the Examples above.
