Calculate the area of the parallelogram (6.GM.1)
To calculate the area of a parallelogram, we need to multiply the base by the height. The base is one of the sides of the parallelogram, and the height is the perpendicular distance from that base to the opposite side.
Let's say the base of the parallelogram is B and the height is H. Then the area A can be calculated as:
A = B x H
For example, if the base is 5 meters and the height is 3 meters, then the area is:
A = 5 x 3 = 15 square meters
Note that the units for the base and height must be the same, and the units for the area will be the product of those units.
