Area of Parallelograms

Today we explored parallelograms and found that they relate to rectangles and we find area the same way!  Area = base x height




Tonight's homework:  You may use a calculator and need to show your work!



They use big numbers in the video below, but the concepts are the same!

Triangles

Sorry, this didn't post on Wednesday...

Today we worked on finding the area of Triangles.  We saw that one triangle is half of a rectangle, so we take our formula for finding the area of a Rectangle, b x h, and divide it by 2 for a triangle.

  
Base x Height divided by 2
