Example Questions

Example Question #171 : Geometry

A parallelogram has a base of length $30\:cm$ , a height of length $15\:cm$ , and a side of length $13\:cm$ . What is the area of the parallelogram?

Possible Answers:

$450\:cm^{2}$

$300\:cm^{2}$

$45\:cm^{2}$

$390\:cm^{2}$

$195\:cm^{2}$

Correct answer:

$450\:cm^{2}$

Explanation:

Given base (b) and height (h) , $A=b\times h$ .

Substituting the values from our question:

$A= 30\:cm\times15\:cm$

$A=450\:cm^{2}$

Example Question #131 : Plane Geometry

Find the area of a parallelogram with a height of $9\:cm$ , a base of $8\:cm$ , and a side length of $7\:cm$ .

Possible Answers:

$56\:cm^{2}$

$63\:cm^{2}$

$72\:cm^{2}$

$72\:cm$

$63\:cm$

Correct answer:

$72\:cm^{2}$

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram with height and base can be found with the equation A=bh . Consequently:

A=bh

$A=(9\:cm)(8\:cm)$

$A=72\:cm^{2}$

Example Question #6 : Parallelograms

Find the area of a parallelogram with a height of $12\:cm$ , base of $11\:cm$ , and a side length of $7\:cm$ .

Possible Answers:

$132\:cm$

$77\:cm$

$77\:cm^{2}$

$132\:cm^{2}$

$84\:cm^{2}$

Correct answer:

$132\:cm^{2}$

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram with height and base can be found with the equation A=bh . Consequently:

A=bh

$A=(12\:cm)(11\:cm)$

$A=132\:cm^{2}$

Example Question #2 : Geometry

Find the area of the following parallelogram:

Note: The formula for the area of a parallelogram is $A=b\times h$ .

Possible Answers:

$60\: in^2$

$32\: in^2$

$50\: in^2$

$30\: in^2$

Correct answer:

$50\: in^2$

Explanation:

The base of the parallelogram is 10, while the height is 5.

$A=b\times h$

$A=10\times5=50\: in^2$

Example Question #1 : Area Of A Parallelogram

Find the area:

Question_5

Possible Answers:

$\small 16$

$\small 24$

$\small 12$

$\small 32$

Correct answer:

$\small 24$

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram can be determined using the following equation:

$\small A=bh$

Therefore,

$\small A=8\times3=24$

Example Question #3 : Parallelograms

Parallelogram

Find the area of the given parallelogram if h=5, b=8, c=6 .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the area of a parallelogram, we need to find the product of the base length and height.

A=(b)(h)=(8)(5)=40

Notice that only two of the given values were needed to slove this problem.

Example Question #1 : Parallelograms

Parallelogram

Find the perimeter of the given parallelogram if h=3, b=5, c=4

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we find the sum of the OUTER sides:

Parallelogram_labeled

5+5+4+4=18

Notice that we didn't use the height in our calculation.

Example Question #131 : Plane Geometry

Parallelogram

Find the perimeter of the given parallelogram if h=6, c=8, b=10

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter of the parallelogram, we must add the OUTER edges:

Parallelogram_labeled

10+10+8+8=36

Notice that we didn't use height in our calculation.

Example Question #132 : Plane Geometry

Parallelogram

Find the perimeter of the given parallelogram if h=5, b=10, c=8

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we need to find the sum of the outer edges:

Parallelogram_labeled

10+10+8=8=36

Notice that we didn't use height in our calculation.

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram

Find the area of a parallelogram with base length $8\:cm$ and side length $5\:cm$ .

Possible Answers:

$20\:cm$

$20\:cm^{2}$

$40\:cm$

$40\:cm^{2}$

Not enough information provided

Correct answer:

Not enough information provided

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram with height and base can be found with the equation A=bh . However, while we have been given the length of the base and of another side of the parallelogram, we still do not know the length of the base. Therefore, we do not have enough information to find the area.
