Question

A rectangle and a parallelogram have sides that measure 3 m, 4 m, 3 m, and 4 m. Do the figures have the same area? Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is base times height, just like the formula for the area of a rectangle

Answer 2

Answer:

no, they don't have the same area

Step-by-step explanation: the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by the breadth whereas the area of a parallelogram is the base multiplied by the "height". The height is the shortest distance in the parallelogram compared to its lengths and diagonals (FACT). Therefore the area of a parallelogram is smaller than that of a regular rectangle.
