Parallelogram

Parallelogram- a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.


Note: Arrow means that the lines are parallel. ( one arrow is not same as two arrow)
[-] means that the lines are equal. ( one [-] is not equal with [=] )

Base- a side of a dimentional figure
- common symbol is "b"

Height- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side
- common symbol is "h"



There are other kinds of parallelogram:
First is "rectangle"
















Second is "square"

















"Area of a Parallelogram"

Formula:
base x height= area
b x h= area

For example:
Joey cut a shape of a parallelogram. The base is 6 cm and the height is 4 cm. What is the area of Joey's parallelogram?
Answer: The area of Joey's parallelogram is 24cm2.





Here is a website to help your learn more about parallelogram and how to find its area.

I hope all this information help you understand more :) !

Great job Tinille! I liked everything, especially the song it made me remember wat a paralellogram is. (: But I think you could make some of your grammar better like adding the s at the end of some words like here are different kinds of parallelogram"s" instead of paralellogram

Great job! I like how you added a picture, video , and a link! Also i like how you did "b" x "h". Instead of putting " first is "rectangle"", put first, is the rectangle. Good job!
