AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM SHEET 1 ANSWERS

Use the base and height measurement to find the area of these parallelograms.

WORKING OUT AREA

7 cm
Area = base x height
1) 84 cm2
12 cm = 12 x 7 = 84 cm2

6 in
Area = base x height
2) 21 in2
= 3 ½ x 6 = 21 in2
3 ½ in

3m Area = base x height

3) 45 m2
15 m = 15 x 3 = 45 m2

8 cm Area = base x height

4) 72 cm2
= 9 x 8 = 72 cm2
9 cm

5 ½ ft Area = base x height

5) 44 ft2
= 8 x 5 ½ = 44 ft2
8 ft

6 cm Area = base x height

6) 84 cm2
= 14 x 6 = 84 cm2
14 cm
