Introduction
In this six-slider web story, we'll explore the fascinating topic of "Area of a Parallelogram."
Finding the Base & Height
To calculate the area of a parallelogram, you need the base and height. The base is one of the parallel sides, and the height is the distance between the two bases. Remember this for later!
Area Formula
Now that we have the base and height, calculating the area is easy! Just multiply the base by the height. The formula is: Area = Base × Height.
Example Time!
Let's practice with an example. If the base of a parallelogram is 8 cm and the height is 5 cm, what's the area? Use the formula (Area = Base × Height) to find out!
