Move the BLACK DOTS to create a parallelogram with BASE = 10 and HEIGHT = 6. After doing so, move the white point left and right. Then select FIX PARALLELOGRAM (upper left corner).
Take out the orange pieces from inside the parallelogram and rearrange them (without overlapping) to create another shape. What new shape were you able to form?
What is the area of this new shape? How do you know this to be true?
Check all statements that are true below.
Move the BLACK DOTS to CREATE ANOTHER PARALLELOGRAM with BASE = 10 and HEIGHT = 6 that LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE YOU MADE ABOVE. After doing so, select FIX PARALLELOGRAM.
Now use these two shapes to create another shape that you're already familiar with. What shape were you able to make?
What is the area of this new shape?
How does the area of this new shape compare with the area of the original parallelogram?
