Area of a Parallelogram This is one in a series of Powerpoint slideshows to illustrate how to calculate the area of various 2-D shapes. Start with the Rectangle, then move onto the Parallelogram. After that select any of Triangle, Trapezium and Circle. Please feel free to copy and modify any of these slide shows, but make sure you acknowledge the author when doing so.
PARALLELOGRAM What is the area of this parallelogram? L=length H=height W=width
PARALLELOGRAM What is the area of this parallelogram? L=length H=height W=width CUT HERE!
PARALLELOGRAM What is the area of this parallelogram? H=height W=width MOVE TO HERE!
the area of this rectangle PARALLELOGRAM It’s the same as the area of this rectangle H=height W=width
Arearectangle= Width x Height PARALLELOGRAM Arearectangle= Width x Height (perpendicular height H) H=height W=width
Areaparallelogram = Width x Height (perpendicular height H) L=length H=height W=width
