BF=8 BE=4 AD=6 DC=12
Calculate the area of the parallelogram in 2 different ways
In this exercise, we are given two heights and two sides.
It is important to keep in mind: The external height can also be used to calculate the area
Therefore, we can perform the operation of the following exercise:
The height BF * the side AD
8*6
The height BE the side DC
4*12
The solution of these two exercises is 48, which is the area of the parallelogram.
48 cm²
A parallelogram has a length equal to 6 cm and a height equal to 4.5 cm.
