 Dino saw picture of an interesting
building
in a postcard. He was interested to
find the
area of the parallelogram-shaped
façade of the building. He
remembered the parallelogram
was discussed in their Mathematics
class.
Help Dino find the area.
How can we help Dino?
A vegetable garden has the shape of a
parallelogram. It has a base of 6 meters
and a height of 3 meters.
What is the area of the garden?
* Using the formula , the area
A= l x w
of the rectangle is the same A=6 m x 3 m
area of the parallelogram. A=18 sq m or
18 m²

* Since the area of a rectangle can be found

by multiplying its length by its width , you
can find the area of the parallelogram by
multiplying the base by the height. If b is
base and h is the height of a parallelogram ,
then, the area of a parallelogram is:
A=bxh
=6mx3m
A = 18 sq m or 18 m² [m² is a shorter way of writing square meter]
Parallelogram Base (b) Height ( h) Area ( A )

1 8 cm 9 cm

2 18 cm 12 m

3 12 cm 84 cm²

4 3 in 36 in²

5 34 dm 3 dm
The area of a parallelogram
can be completed by using
the formula A= b x h
If A is the area of a
parallelogram , b is its base,
and h is its height , then
A = b x h and is expressed in
terms of square units.
A. Consider the figure below as a section of a garden pat
botanical garden. Find the area of the path using ( 1 ) e
and ( 2 ) the formula for the area of a parallelogram. On
1 sq meter.
1. A residential lot in the shape of a
parallelogram has a base of 16 m
and a height of 12 m. What is its area?
2. A parallelogram has a base of 8 cm and a
height of 6 cm.
What is the area of a parallelogram with base
and height
twice as long ?
3. A parallelogram has an area of 432 sq cm . If
its
Please answer.
 3.Dino is putting ceramic tiles
on the
garden path and the
remaining part
requires only a parallelogram-shaped
tile. So, he
needs to cut a parallelogram from a
ceramic tile
whose length is 5 m and width is 4m as
shown
in the figure below.
What is the area of the
parallelogram?
What are the areas of the two
