A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same height. How does the area of the parallelogram compare to the area of the rectangle? Explain.

Equal Areas

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle =Base X Height

Area of a Parallelogram =Base X Height

If the rectangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same height, then their areas are equal.

Take for an example,

A rectangle with a base of 5 cm and a height of 6cm

For a parallelogram with same base and height

3; 9 is 8 to -4
