Area and Perimeter of Parallelograms

1. Name __________________
Area & Perimeter
•Perimeter: the distance around the shape
•Area: the two-dimensional space inside
the shape

2. How do you find the perimeter and area of
any shape?
USE YOUR FORMULA CHART!
You don’t have to memorize any formulas, just
LOOK at the formula chart to find the formula.

A parallelogram is a little harder to find on the
formula chart. If you cut the triangle off of the left
side and put it on the right side, what shape do
you get? Look at your formula chart.
The base and height of any shape
ALWAYS forms a right angle in the shape.
