A parallelogram has opposite and congruent sides

  • 5 units is a reasonable estimate of the parallelogram's height
  • The area of the parallelogram is 50 square units

Given that:

[tex]Base = 10[/tex]

The height of the parallelogram

The attached diagram does not show the full picture of the parallelogram; however the parallelogram's height is independent of its base.

So, we can conclude that 5 units is a reasonable estimate

The area

The area of a parallelogram is:

[tex]Area = Base \times Height[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Area = 10 \times 5[/tex]

[tex]Area = 50[/tex]

Hence, the area of the parallelogram is 50 square units.
