If you werevto draw three different parallelograms each with a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units how would the areas compare?

If you created 3 different parallelograms with these dimensions, the areas would still be the same.  

They would look different in the tilt that is created, but if you were to take the slanted side to the right/left of the height and move it over beside the other side of the parallelogram, you would create the same size rectangle in all examples, giving you the exact same area.

Jim has run 5/6 of a mile so far. i hope that answers your question! good luck : )
