Question

which rectangle could be created from a parallelogram with a base of 6 and a height of 2?
2 units
6 units
2 units
4 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between parallelogram and rectangle

When a parallelogram is transformed into a rectangle (by cutting and rearranging), the base of the parallelogram becomes the length of the rectangle and the height of the parallelogram becomes the width of the rectangle.

Step2: Identify the dimensions

Given the base of the parallelogram \(b = 6\) and height \(h=2\). So the rectangle should have length \(l = 6\) and width \(w = 2\).

Answer:

The rectangle with length \(6\) units and width \(2\) units (the first - shown rectangle in the problem description).
