How do we find the area of parallelograms?

 Parallelograms
- four sided shape with parallel opposite side
- to get the area of a parallelogram use the formula  A= bh
- 'b' represents the base of the parallelogram
- 'h' represents the height of the parallelogram

Example : The sides with the red arrows are the bases of the parallelograms and the the sides with the blue arrows are the hieght of the parallelogram

Example question:

 H= 6
B= 14
A= ?
