2 What is a parallelogram? A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape formed by two pairs of parallel lines. Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure.

3 What is area? The area of a polygon is the number of square units inside the polygon. Area is 2-dimensional like a carpet or an area rug.

4 Find the area without a formula Find the area of this parallelogram without using a formula -

5 Area of a parallelogram To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A= base x perpendicular height A = b.H

6 Find the area using a formula Area of parallelogram = b.H
