Question

please help!!!!!! A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same height. How does the area of the parallelogram compare to the area of the rectangle? Explain.

Answer 1

Equal Areas

Explanation:

Area of a Rectangle =Base X Height

Area of a Parallelogram =Base X Height

If the rectangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same height, then their areas are equal.

Take for an example,

A rectangle with a base of 5 cm and a height of 6cm

• Area of the Rectangle =5*6=30 Square Centimeters.

For a parallelogram with same base and height

• Area of the parallelogram =5*6=30 Square Centimeters,
