Parallelograms Investigation
Define
Read about parallelograms here. Describe what a parallelogram is.
Match
Make the shapes on the right match the shapes on the left. When you're done, drag your shape over the original to check that they match.
Transform to a rectangle
By cutting a parallelogram, we can transform the shape into a rectangle. Transform these three parallelograms into rectangles. Type in the number of grid squares each parallelogram covers.
Visualize a transformation
These three parallelograms can't be cut up. Imagine you can cut along the dotted line and you can move the triangle to transform the parallelogram into a rectangle. Calculate the area of each parallelogram.
Transform to a parallelogram
Move the blue point on each shape so that each shape has two pairs of parallel sides.
