Description
With these workings it is easy to see why the area of a parallelogram is its base multiplied by its height.
You'll also notice why the opposite sides of a parallelogram have angles that are equal.
This is an excellent resource for teachers who want to explain the reasoning why A=bh for a parallelogram or just mathematics enthusiasts who enjoy looking at proofs.
It may also be useful to mathematics artists who require a deeper understanding of specific formulas, for things such as vectors and computer graphics.
