Area
The amount of surface, measured in square units
Parallelogram
A polygon (quadrilateral-4 sides) with 2 sets of parallel lines
Activity - Handout Required!
Count the squares to determine the area of each parallelogram
Record your answers inside each shape
Cut shapes 3 and 4 to make them into squares or rectangles
Can you come up with a formula that will work for all parallelograms???
A=bh
Any side of the parallelogram can be the base, but the height must intersect the base at a 90ο angle
Arrowheads are used to indicate parallel lines

Wow!what a nice explanation about parallelogram and I am here to discuss some properties of parallelogram a parallelogram has four sides the opposite sides are parallel and equal,The point where two adjacent sides meet is called Vertex a parallelogram has four vertices a parallelogram has four angles and the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
