About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 8.5:                   

 

Assignment 8.5 is an introduction to areas of parallelograms.

 

Prerequisite Skills:  Find areas of polygons by counting squares in their interiors (Assignment 8.1).  Measure lengths to the nearest .5 cm. (Assignment 1.11). Solve algebraic equations with one variable.

 

Theorems:  The area of a parallelogram is the product of the length of its base and its height.

                           The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:  A = bh  (A is Area; b is the length of the base; h is the height)
