Instructions:
Please watch the Nearpod video about finding the area of rectangles and parallelograms.
The video does not walk through the handouts.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS LESSON:
Use the formula to find the area of a rectangle or a parallelogram A = bh (where b is the base and h is the height).
Remember that area is the surface measurement of a 2D figure, and it is measured in square units.
The formula can be manipulated to solve for a missing measurement. To find the base of a figure use b = A/h
To find the height of a figure use h = A/b
The height of a parallelogram is the distance between its based and make a 90 degree with the base. This can be shown either inside or outside the figure.
