Area of a Parallelogram | Formula and Examples

The area of a parallelogram is base times height. But how did we arrive at this formula?
We discover two different ways of finding the area of a parallelogram by breaking it into rectangles and triangles.

Wonderfully explained on area of a parallelogram - derived from the area of a rectangle!
We can also now determine the area of other shapes by transformations. I believe that this simple and visual approach to measuring areas can be discussed with children who can identify shapes and can do some basic multiplication.

As 1/2 x base x height ki jagah par dono diagonal hi aa jayenge and using Distributivity of multiplication over addition hamein 1/2 x d1 x d2 milega jahaan d1 and d2 dono diagonals hain
