Theory & Formula
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides are equal in length, and opposite angles are equal in measure.
Key formulas and properties:
- Area: A = b × h, where b is the base and h is the perpendicular height.
- Perimeter: P = 2(a + b), where a and b are the lengths of two adjacent sides.
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal; consecutive angles are supplementary (sum to 180°).
- Diagonals bisect each other.
\(A = b \times h\)
