Transcript text: How is the area of a rectangle related to the area of a parallelogram?

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Given Shapes

We are given a rectangle and a parallelogram. The rectangle has a length of 11 units and a height of 4 units.

Step 2: Recall the Area Formulas

The area of a rectangle is calculated as: \[ \text{Area of Rectangle} = \text{length} \times \text{height} \] The area of a parallelogram is calculated as: \[ \text{Area of Parallelogram} = \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Step 3: Compare the Areas

For both the rectangle and the parallelogram, the base (or length) is 11 units and the height is 4 units. Therefore, the area calculations for both shapes are the same.

Final Answer

The area of a rectangle is equal to the area of a parallelogram when they have the same base and height.
