This math topic focuses on calculating the area of parallelograms by relating them to equivalent rectangles. It is intended for learners to practice and strengthen their understanding of how to compute areas using the dimensions provided, translated into the context of rectangles for simplicity. The problems include multiple-choice questions that require students to identify the correct area from options given in square units (ft², m², in², km², cm²). The skills honed through these problems are essential for understanding geometrical transformations and properties.
