A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides equal. In a
parallelogram, the resting side is usually considered the base, and a perpendicular
line going from the base to the other side is the height. For
example:

A= b^hh
A= 10^5h=

Volume
In three dimensions, different facts can be determined about shapes. Volume (V) is
the capacity to hold. The formula for volume of each shape is different. Volume is
labeled in cubic units.
