How to Find Area of a Parallelogram

To find the area of a parallelogram all you need is a ruler and a pencil. First at one point of your shape draw a straight line down, to make it look as if it were a rectangle. You don't have to do it on both sides though. Next you measure that line you drew, and than the base side. Next, you multiply those 2 numbers to get your area.

I thought your blog was good, but ou could have had more explanation on how to find it.Also if this is supposed to be helping other people make sure that other people can understand it.

Nicole,

I think you did a really good on talking about the problems, and how to find the area of the figures. And any other people who didnt know how to do this before, would probably understand it after they read it. Great Job!
