What is the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram?

The formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram is one of the mathematical formulas:

The formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram is:

S = a x h

*Where:

S: is the area of the parallelogram.

a: is the length of the base of the parallelogram.

h: is the height corresponding to the base a.

The height of the parallelogram is a perpendicular line segment drawn from a vertex to the opposite side.

*Example:

If a parallelogram has a base of 8cm and a corresponding height of 5cm, then its area is:

S = 8cm x 5cm = 40 cm²

*Note:

Unit of measurement: When calculating the area, ensure that the units of measurement for the base and height are the same (e.g., both in cm, m,...).

Height: The height of the parallelogram can change depending on the base you choose. However, the area of the parallelogram remains unchanged.

**Some exercises applying the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram:

Exercise 1:

A parallelogram has a base length of 12cm and a corresponding height of 8cm. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Apply the formula: S = a x h

We have: S = 12cm x 8cm = 96 cm²

Thus, the area of the parallelogram is 96 cm².

Exercise 2:

A piece of land in the shape of a parallelogram has a base of 25m. The height of the land is measured to be 18m. What is the area of the land in square meters?

Solution:

Apply the formula: S = a x h

We have: S = 25m x 18m = 450 m²

Thus, the area of the land is 450 m².

Exercise 3:

A parallelogram has an area of 60cm² and a height of 5cm. Calculate the length of the base of the parallelogram.

Solution:

We have the formula: S = a x h

To find the length of the base (a), divide the area by the height: a = S : h

Thus, the length of the base is: a = 60cm² : 5cm = 12cm

Answer: The length of the base is 12cm.

Exercise 4:

A parallelogram has a base that is double its height and an area of 72cm². Calculate the height and the base of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the height be h, the base be 2h (since the base is double the height)

We have: S = a x h = 2h x h = 72cm²

Thus: h x h = 72cm² : 2 = 36cm²

Therefore, h = 6cm (since 6 x 6 = 36)

The base is: 2h = 2 x 6cm = 12cm

Answer: The height is 6cm, the base is 12cm.

When do students in Vietnam learn about parallelograms in the Mathematics curriculum?

The parallelogram is a fairly basic geometric shape, typically introduced to students in grade 4.

According to the Mathematics education curriculum issued along with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:

- Recognize acute, obtuse, and straight angles.

- Recognize perpendicular and parallel lines.

- Recognize parallelograms and rhombuses.

- Draw trapezoids, parallelograms, and rhombuses (using a grid).

- Draw the height of a triangle.

- Draw circles with a given center and radius or diameter.

- Solve some problems related to measurement, drawing, assembling, and creating shapes associated with certain previously learned flat and solid figures, related to the application of geometry in practical scenarios, and related to content in subjects like Art, Technology, and IT.

- Describe some basic elements (sides, angles, diagonals) of rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and isosceles trapezoids.

- Draw rectangles, rhombuses, and parallelograms using learning tools.

- Solve some practical problems related to calculating the perimeter and area of the above-mentioned special shapes (e.g., calculating the perimeter or area of certain objects with the above-mentioned special forms,...).

- Explain properties regarding adjacent angles, base side, diagonals of trapezoids.

- Recognize signs for a trapezoid to be an isosceles trapezoid (e.g., a trapezoid with two equal diagonals is an isosceles trapezoid).

- Explain properties regarding opposite sides, angles, and diagonals of parallelograms.

- Recognize signs for a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram (e.g., a quadrilateral with two diagonals intersecting at the midpoint of each is a parallelogram).

- Explain properties regarding the diagonals of rectangles.

- Recognize signs for a parallelogram to be a rectangle (e.g., a parallelogram with two equal diagonals is a rectangle).

- Explain properties regarding rhombus diagonals.

- Recognize signs for a parallelogram to be a rhombus (e.g., a parallelogram with two perpendicular diagonals is a rhombus).

- Explain properties regarding the diagonals of a square.

- Recognize signs for a rectangle to be a square (e.g., a rectangle with two perpendicular diagonals is a square).

Thus, according to the above regulations, a parallelogram is introduced to students in the Grade 4 Math curriculum.
