Area of a Parallelogram - Free Worksheet for Kids - SKOOLGO ... - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to calculate the area of each parallelogram using the formula:

$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$

> ⚠️ Note: The height must be the perpendicular height, not the slant side. In these diagrams, the vertical arrows represent the perpendicular height.

Let’s go through each parallelogram one by one.

---

1. First Parallelogram

- Base = 7
- Height = 5
$$
\text{Area} = 7 \times 5 = 35
$$

✔ Area = 35

---

2. Second Parallelogram

- Base = 9
- Height = 3
$$
\text{Area} = 9 \times 3 = 27
$$

✔ Area = 27

---

3. Third Parallelogram

- Base = 25
- Height = 20
$$
\text{Area} = 25 \times 20 = 500
$$

✔ Area = 500

---

4. Fourth Parallelogram

- Base = 4
- Height = 2
$$
\text{Area} = 4 \times 2 = 8
$$

✔ Area = 8

---

5. Fifth Parallelogram

- Base = 16
- Height = 8
$$
\text{Area} = 16 \times 8 = 128
$$

✔ Area = 128

---

6. Sixth Parallelogram

- Base = 10
- Height = 5
$$
\text{Area} = 10 \times 5 = 50
$$

✔ Area = 50

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Area = 35
2. Area = 27
3. Area = 500
4. Area = 8
5. Area = 128
6. Area = 50

📝 Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is always calculated as:

$$
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$

Where:
- Base is the length of one side (usually the bottom side).
- Height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (shown by the vertical arrow in the diagram).

Even though the shapes look skewed or stretched, the given numbers are what matter — the drawings are just for illustration.
