Hi guys
the other day I tried to resolve a problem with no success.
It asked to calculate the area of a paralelogram with 4 inch with and 5 inches length.... how can I calculate the high so to calculate the area??
And if both sides were the same? (5 inches vs 5 inches)...
tnks in advanced for your help

paralelogram

Oops my mistake. It doesnt become a square but a Rhombus.Caps wrote:Tnks neo for your answer
but if I'm not mistaken the height of the paralelogram is not the side of it... thats why I have that doubt....
Area of Rhombus having h and b is still A = b.h
Hey u atleast need to know the internal angle..as the area would vary depending on the angle. if the angle was too acute the height becomes less though the base is same..so angle is important. Once you know the angle you can calculate using simple Pytho theorem
