A parallelogram can be transformed into a rectangle with the same base and height. So, the area of a parallelogram and a rectangle with the same base and height will have the same area. Both shapes use the formula A = bh to find the area
The área fórmula for rectangle is, A=bh (base)(height). The are for a parallelogram is A(area)=bh (base)(height). Therefore, if each name tag has the same height, they will have the same area.
