Question

IF base of a parallelogra
m is 18 cm and its height is 11 cm, find its area.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

198cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

parallelogram= b×h

= (18×11) cm^2

= 198cm^2

Answer 2

Base of the parallelogram = 18 cm

Height of the parallelogram = 11 cm

Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height

Area of the parallelogram = ( 18 × 11 ) sq.cm

Area of the parallelogram = 198 sq.cm

Extra Information:

We can memorize the area of a parallelogram simply by memorizing the area of a rectangle.

A parallelogram is a rectangle because it has two diagonals, two pairs of equal sides, four angles and two pairs of parallel sides.

Hence, the area of a rectangle is equal to the area of a parallelogram.

base of a parallelogram = length of a rectangle

height of a parallelogram = width of a rectangle
