This resource engages students in using the formula A = b x h to compute the area of six distinct parallelograms. Each parallelogram's base and height values are provided in varying formats: whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. This is a great way to get hands-on practice!
To solve an area of parallelogram problem, follow these steps:
1. Identify the base and height of the parallelogram.
2. Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram: Area = Base x Height (A = bh).
3. Plug in the base and height measurements into the formula and calculate the result. That's the area of the parallelogram.
Remember to include the correct units in your answer, such as square centimeters, square inches, square feet, etc.
