Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles
Skill 33
2
Objective HSG-MG.1/7: Students are responsible for finding the areas of parallelograms and triangles.
3
Definitions A base of a parallelogram can be any one of its sides. The corresponding altitude is a segment perpendicular to the line containing the base, drawn from the side opposite the base. The height is the length of the altitude. The base of a triangle can be any of its sides. The corresponding altitude is the length of the altitude to the line containing the base.

Thm. 61: Area of a Rectangle
The area of a rectangle is the product of a base and height. Thm. 62: Area of a Parallelogram The area of a parallelogram is the product of a base and the corresponding height. Thm. 63: Area of a Triangle The area of a triangle is the half the product of a base and the corresponding height.
