Lesson 6
Area of Parallelograms
Problem 1
Which three of these parallelograms have the same area as each other?

A
B
C
D
Problem 2
Which pair of base and height produces the greatest area? All measurements are in centimeters.
$b = 4$, $h=3.5$
$b = 0.8$, $h=20$
$b = 6$, $h=2.25$
$b = 10$, $h=1.4$
Problem 3
Here are the areas of three parallelograms. Use them to find the missing length (labeled with a "?") on each parallelogram.
A: 10 square units
B: 21 square units
C: 25 square units
