by definition:
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure formed by two pairs of parallel lines.Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles have equal measure.
The area of a parallelogram is , the area of a triangle be the area of a parallelogram.
Thus, the formula for the area of a triangle is:
if given
Triangle: and
then
and
Parallelogram: and
What expression represents the number of units by which the area of the parallelogram is greater than the area of the triangle?
find the difference:
=> expression represents the number of units by which the area of the parallelogram is greater than the area of the triangle
