Question

Patty made a name tag in the shape of a parallelogram. Reilly made a rectangular name tag with the same base and height. Explain how the areas of the name tags compare.
pls help me :(

Answer 1

Answer:

A parallelogram can be transformed into a rectangle with the same base and height. So, the area of a parallelogram and a rectangle with the same base and height will have the same area. Both shapes use the formula A = bh to find the area

Answer 2

The área fórmula for rectangle is, A=bh (base)(height). The are for a parallelogram is A(area)=bh (base)(height). Therefore, if each name tag has the same height, they will have the same area.
