Next, measure the height or the length of the parallelogram. Remember, the side isn't the height. Imagine a dotted line from the top corners to the bottom, the line is straight, measure this imaginary line, not the side.
Next you multiply the base by the height. As you can see, we've already started the equation.
Your answer should be 28 cm2. Noticted the 2 after the cm. This 2 stands for square. So your answer should be 28cm (squared).
Another way of finding the area of a parallelogram, is to put it on gragh paper. Count up al, the full squares that are in the parallelogram.
Notice some squares aren't full. Try putting the half squares together, and counting them as one.
So that's basically it. It's very simple, we hope we made it clear to you. That's all for now. Firoze and Jessie signing off. We'll see you next time on 6BD' s math blog. Chouw for now!.

great job you guys and I am impressed with your work and I like those pictures that you put up there and try making more longer and explain more better.
Good job fir-os-a and jessie you did a really good job on the post. It made lots of sense and now I learned how to nfind the area of a parallagram before I didn't really now how. I also liked the pictures they were cool.
Hey Firoze and Jessie! Great post it makes so much sense and sort of told me how to find the area of a parellelagram because i sort of didnt but sort of did. Also I liked the pictures.
Hi gals! You did a very good job explaining how to find the area of a parallelogram. You did that by taking us step by step. For example, when you said you have to measure the imaganary dotted line, not just the side. You also did a great job on choosing the right picture with the right information. Over all you did a fabulous job!!!
