Explain in Detail: Properties of Parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other.
Important Parallelogram Formula
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = bh, where b is the base and h is the height.
Parallelogram Formula Example Problems
Problem 1
If the length of the base of a parallelogram is 8 feet and its height is 10 feet, find its area.
Solution
The area of a parallelogram is found by multiplying the base by the height.
Area = (base)(height)
Area = (8 feet)(10 feet)
Area = 80 feet

About Parallelogram Formula
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides. The length of a parallelogram’s side is called its length. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is base × height, where base is the length of one of the parallelogram’s base sides and height is the length of the parallelogram’s opposite side.
