What is the area of a parallelogram if the base is , the other side is , and the height is ?
The area of a parallelogram is so the answer would be .
Example Question #961 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Find the area of the given parallelogram:
Find the area of the given parallelogram:
To find the area of a parallelogram, simply do the following:
Where b is the base, and h is the height. Note that the height is the length of the perpendicular line connecting both bases. In this case, our height is 12mi and our base is 144 miles.
Example Question #31 : Geometry
Find the area of the given parallelogram:
Find the area of the given parallelogram:
To find the area of a parallelogram, simply use the following formula for area of a parallelogram:
Where b is the base, and h is the height. Note that the height is the length of the perpendicular line connecting both bases. In this case, our height is 12 mi and our base is 144 mi.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
What is the total surface area of the enclosed region?
112cm2
168cm2
126cm2
212cm2
114cm2
114cm2
First, we must find the missing lengths. Because we know that the length going horizontally across on the bottom is 6 cm and 8 cm, that must mean that the length going across at the top must also equal this sum.
So, the length of the top must equal
6 + 8 =
14.
We are given one value of the length on the top, 4. To find the missing horizontal length on the top, we must subtract 4 from 14.
14 – 4 = 10.
In order to find the other missing length, we must observe that the greatest vertical length of this figure is 12 cm. Because we are given 4 cm and 5 cm, we must subtract 4 and 5 from 12 to find the other missing length.
12 – 4 – 5 =
3.
Now, let's divide this enclosed region in three separate rectangles.
The rectangle at the top has a length of 4 cm and width of 3 cm.
The middle rectangle has a length of
10 + 4 =
14 cm
and a width of 5 cm.
The bottom rectangle has a length of 8 cm and width of 4 cm.
If the formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width, we must now calculate the individual areas of each rectangle and add them up.
Area of top rectangle
4 x 3 = 12cm2
Area of middle rectangle
14 x 5 = 70cm2
Area of bottom rectangle
8 x 4 = 32cm2
12cm2 + 32cm2 + 70cm2 =
114cm2
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Mr. Barker is building a rectangular fence. His yard has an area of 24 feet, and the one side of the fence he's already built is 6 feet long.
What is the length of the other side (the width) of the fence?
The answer is 4 feet, because
and a rectangle must have 4 sides, with 2 sides of one length and 2 sides of another.
feet
making the other side 4 feet,
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
If Bailey is making a quilt for a bed that measures feet wide and feet long, and she wants there to be an extra foot of quilt to hang over each side of the bed, how much material should she buy.
In order to determine how much material Bailey needs, we must first find the area of space she needs to cover. Since Bailey would like the quilt to be an extra foot on each side, we must add feet to both the length and width.
Width
Length
Now we apply the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is .
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Give the area of the rectangle in the above diagram.
Multiply the length by the width to get the area of the rectangle:
The area of the rectangle is 198 square inches.
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Which could be the dimensions of a rectangle with the area ?
To find the area, simply multiply the sides of the rectangle. The only sides which add up to are:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Give the area of the above rectangle in square centimeters.
Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, multiply each dimension by 100 to convert meters to centimeters. This makes the dimensions 200 centimeters by 500 centimeters.
Use the area formula, substituting :
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Mr. Smith is planting a rectangular garden with a length of 5 ft and a width of 7 ft. What is the area of the garden?
The area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
