3. Rectangles & Parallelograms A= bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height of the rectangle. Height, h = 3 units Base, b= 6 units 6 3 A = 6  3 = 18 sq. units

4. Rectangles & Parallelograms, A= bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height of the parallelogram. Height, h = 3 units Base, b= 6 units 6 3 A = 6  3 = 18 sq. units

5. AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM Discover the formula for area of a parallelogram. h b

6. AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM To do this let’s cut the left triangle and… h b

7. slide it… AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM h h b

8. slide it… AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM h h b

9. slide it… AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM h h b

10. slide it… AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM h h b

11. …thus, changing it to a rectangle. What is the area of this rectangle? AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM h b

12. AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM Since the area of the rectangle and parallelogram are the same, just rearranged, what is the formula for the area of this parallelogram? h b

13. A Closer Look at Parallelograms Height Length Side length Note that the height of the parallelogram is an altitude, perpendicular to the bases, and that it is used in determining the area and not the side lengths.

14. Practice Problems for 8.1 12 cm 6 cm 4 cm 6 cm What is the area of the shaded region? A =( 12 x 6) – (4x 6) = 72 – 24 = A = 48 cm 2 5 cm 8 cm 9.4 cm What is the area of the shaded region? A = ½ ( 8 x 5) = 20 cm 2
