Area Ofa Parallelogram: Unit 5, Chapter 4 Lesson 5.4

The document discusses how to calculate the area of a parallelogram. It provides three formulas: 1) the area is equal to the area of the related rectangle, 2) the area is equal to twice the area of one of the two congruent triangles that make up the parallelogram, and 3) the general formula that the area is equal to the base times the height. It then asks the reader to use these formulas to find the areas of sample shaded parallelograms.
