Reteach Area of Parallelograms

This document provides examples for calculating the area and height of parallelograms. It states that the area of a parallelogram is calculated as A = bh, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height. Two examples are given where the area and height are calculated by plugging values into the area formula. The document concludes by providing three blank practice problems for finding the area of parallelograms and one problem for finding the height.

Area of Parallelograms
Words The area A of a parallelogram is the product of any base b and its height h.
Symbols A = bh Model

Example 1
Find the area of the parallelogram.
A = bh Area of parallelogram

A=4×7 Replace b with 4 and h with 7.

A = 28 Multiply.

The area is 28 square units or 28 units2.

The base is 4 units,


and the height is 7 units.

Example 2
Find the height of the parallelogram.
A = bh Area of parallelogram

24 = 6 · h Replace A with 24 and b with 6.


24 6ℎ
6
= 6
Divide each side by 6.

4=h Simplify.

So, the height is 4 inches.

Find the area of each parallelogram.


1. 2. 3.

4. Find the height of a parallelogram if its base is 9 feet and its area is 27 square feet.

Area 131
