Question

Parallelogram A has a base of 4 cm and a height of 9 cm. Which figure described below has the same area as parallelogram A?
A rectangle 6 cm long and 5 cm wide.
A parallelogram with a base of 8 cm and a height of 4 cm.
A rectangle 9 cm long and 4 cm wide.
A parallelogram with a base of 5 cm and a height of 8 cm.

Answer 1

find the area of the parallelogram

Area = base x height

= 4 x 9
= 36 cm^2

Rectangles have the area formula Area = length x width.

just find the area of each shape and see which has the area of 36 cm^2
