To find the area of a parrellogram, measure the width (or the base) and the length (or the height). Then, multiply the width by the length. Pretend that the parallelogram has a 3 cm base, and a 4 cm height. Multiply three cm, by four cm.
3cmX4cm=12cm.
So, the area is 12cm.
Another way is to measure the parrelellogram on graph paper. If it's on graph paper, count all the full squares in the parallelogram and write it down, then, using your imagination, put the unful squares together, and count them as a full square. If you use these strategies, you'll figure out the area of a parelleogram in no time flat.

Hi Jessie,
You did a great job on your parralellagram reflection. You explained it perfectly I understood everything and it really helped me. Great example!

Awesome job, Jessie! You explained it perfectly, although you forgot to put in the stuff about the lines, and you spelled parallelogram wrong. But otherwise, it's awesome!
