Areas of Parallelograms & Triangles
Tutorial 13b
2
Parallelograms You can choose any side of a parallelogram to be a base. An altitude is any segment perpendicular to the line containing the base drawn from the side opposite the base. The height is the length of the altitude. height base
3
Area of a Parallelogram
The area of a parallelogram is the product of any base and the corresponding height. A = bh h b
4
Area of a Parallelogram
The area of a parallelogram is the product of any base and the corresponding height. A = bh A = 5•3 A= 15 3 5
5
2. 4 12 8 4 A = bh A = 12•4 A = 48 units2 A = bh A = 4•8 A = 32 units2
6
A = bh A = 8•4 A = 32 Find the value of x in each parallelogram below.
3. 4. 8 A = bh A = 8•4 A = 32 Use one set of base & height to find the area. After knowing the area, use the other base with the unknown height (x) and the area formula to solve for x. Click here to continue
7
Find the value of x in each parallelogram below.
3. 4. 5 8 x A = bh A = 8•4 A = 32 Use one set of base & height to find the area. After knowing the area, use the other base with the unknown height (x) and the area formula to solve for x. 32= bh 32= 5x = x
8
Find the value of x in each parallelogram below.
3. 4. 5 8 x A = bh A = 8•4 A = 32 Try #4 on your own, then click below to check your answers. Check Answer 32= bh 32= 5x = x
9
A = bh A = bh A = 8•4 A = 19•11 A = 32 A = 209 209= bh 209= 12x = x
Find the value of x in each parallelogram below. 3. 4. 5 8 x A = bh A = 8•4 A = 32 A = bh A = 19•11 A = 209 209= bh 209= 12x = x 32= bh 32= 5x = x
10
Triangles You can choose any side of a triangle to be the base.
The corresponding height is the length of an altitude drawn to the line containing the base. height base
11
Area of a Triangle The area of a triangle is half the product of any base and the corresponding height. h b
12
Example #1 A = 1/2 •20•6 A = 60 ft2 Find the area of this triangle
