Area of Parallelogram and Triangle


Objective: I know how to calculate the area of parallelogram and triangle.

To find the area of a parallelogram, we multiply the base by the height. The height of a parallelogram is always perpendicular to the base.

Area = bh

A triangle has half the area of a parallelogram with the same base and height. The formula for area of triangle is

Area =
