Question

What other polygon uses the same formula for area as a parallelogram

Answers

GPT-4o mini
The area formula for a parallelogram is given by:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

This formula is not unique to parallelograms; it is also applicable to rectangles and rhombuses.

- **Rectangles**: The area of a rectangle is calculated using the same formula, where one side serves as the base and the corresponding height is the perpendicular distance to that base.

- **Rhombuses**: Similar to parallelograms, the area of a rhombus can also be calculated using the same base-height formula.

Thus, both rectangles and rhombuses use the same formula for area as a parallelogram.
