How is finding the area of a parallelogram like finding the area of two congruent triangles?

If you look at either diagonal (line joining opposite angles) it forms 2 triangles that are identical, both in size and shape, but that are in different positions. So by finding the area of one using base x height ÷ 2, and then adding them together, you get the area of the polygon.
However, you will find that that would be the same as just doing base x height, so the area of a parallelogram is just that.

Write a number sentence to compare 7.17 and 7.170

yulyashka [42]

Both of these values are the same, so the number sentence would state:

7.17 = 7.170

You can place any number of zeros to the very end on the right side (when there is a decimal point) without changing the value of the number.

7.1700000 = 7.17 also
