Question

parallelogram: base = 10 units height = 4 units
rectangle: length = 10 units width = 4 units
area of rectangle = 40 square units
area of parallelogram = 40 square units
complete the statements.
the base and height of the parallelogram are the length and width of the rectangle.
to find the area of the parallelogram, you can? the base and the height.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between base - height of parallelogram and length - width of rectangle

The base of the parallelogram is \(10\) units and height is \(4\) units. The length of the rectangle is \(10\) units and width is \(4\) units. So, the base and height of the parallelogram are equal to the length and width of the rectangle.

Step2: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is \(A = b\times h\) (where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height). For a rectangle, the formula is \(A=l\times w\) (where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width). Since \(b = l\) and \(h = w\) in our case, to find the area of the parallelogram, we use the operation of multiplication (because \(A=b\times h\)).

Answer:

1. equal to
2. multiply
