Area of a Parallelogram | Formula and Examples

Learn math the Cuemath way: cuemath.link/yt-parent-signup
The area of a parallelogram is base times height. But how did we arrive at this formula?
We discover two different ways of finding the area of a parallelogram by breaking it into rectangles and triangles.

Wonderfully explained on area of a parallelogram - derived from the area of a rectangle!
We can also now determine the area of other shapes by transformations. I believe that this simple and visual approach to measuring areas can be discussed with children who can identify shapes and can do some basic multiplication.

brilliant explanation very good

[@harnoor7tha483]

Half by product of both the diognals

Very well explained...

Nice explantion👌

[@user-it7rv4pg6l]

I like your explanation

[@rajbarde8726]

Kya baat hai 👌

As 1/2 x base x height ki jagah par dono diagonal hi aa jayenge and using Distributivity of multiplication over addition hamein 1/2 x d1 x d2 milega jahaan d1 and d2 dono diagonals hain

[@CuemathStudio]

Awesome!

[@mathwithsud]

1/2 x d1 x d2

Oooooo WOW....❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ceciliakelebileng8227]

Base × height

Yeah...that's right. Since rhombus is also a parallelogram, the same formula should work.
But for a rhombus, we can also represent the area in terms of diagonals - 1/2 times the product of diagonals. Can you think why?
