the area of a parallelogram is the product of a base it's corresponding height
(A=bh)
also, (h1xb1=h2xb2)
*height has to be perpendicular to the base (it can be outside the outlined shape). bh=A because if you divided a parallelogram in two, broke it apart, and put it on the opposite side of it's other half, the parallelogram would be a rectangle |
