Area

Area(a)-the number of square units contains two dimensional shape and is also the shape space takes up.

Example:

Length x Width= area


Parallelogram- a four figure with opposite sides parallel of equal.

Example:




Base(b)- side of a two dimensional closed figure(SHAPE)

Example:



Height(h)- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Example:


AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM

A=B X L


Example:(b) is 5 cm and (h) is 3 cm. Plug there values into a formula.



A= b x h
A= 5 x 3
A=15cm
