Question

find the following measurements.

1. parallelogram: base =? units height =? units

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the base

Count the number of grid units along the base of the parallelogram. From the figure, the base spans 9 units (by counting the squares along the bottom side).

Step2: Determine the height

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. Counting the vertical grid units (perpendicular to the base), we find the height is 3 units.

Answer:

base = 9 units, height = 3 units
