  1. How to find the area of a parallelogram.

  2. The area of a parallelogram is base x height. 5cm 8cm Area = 8 x 5 = 40cm2

  3. Here’s why: A parallelogram can be split up into a rectangle and 2 triangles – each with the same area. 5cm 10cm

  4. Here’s why: If you move one triangle to the other end, you get a rectangle.

  5. The area of a rectangle is length x width.This is the same as base x height in the original parallelogram. 5cm 10cm

  6. Find the area of these parallelograms: Area = base x height Area = 4 x 6 = 24cm2 Area = base x height Area = 15 x 2 = 30cm2 6cm 2cm 15cm 4cm

  7. Find the area of these parallelograms: Area = base x height Area = 6 x 3= 18cm2 Area = base x height Area = 9 x 8 = 72cm2 6cm 3cm 8cm 9cm

  8. Find the area of these parallelograms. Be careful to pick the right measurements. Area = base x height Area = 6 x 7= 42cm2 Area = base x height Area = 7 x 5 = 35cm2 6cm 5cm 9cm 7cm 7cm 6cm

  9. Can you find the area of this parallelogram using 2 different sets of measurements? Area = base x height Area = 16 x 6 = 96cm2 16cm 8cm 6cm 12cm Area = base x height Area = 8 x 12 = 96cm2
