ES Área de paralelogramos
The space inside a parallelogram. Formula: A = b × h, using the perpendicular height.
El espacio dentro de un paralelogramo. Fórmula: A = b × h, usando la altura perpendicular.
ES Lado inclinado
A side that leans instead of going straight up and down. It is not the perpendicular height.
Un lado que está inclinado en vez de subir y bajar verticalmente. No es la altura perpendicular.
ES Paralelogramo
A four-sided shape with two pairs of parallel sides.
Una figura de cuatro lados con dos pares de lados paralelos.
ES Paralelas
Two lines or sides that stay the same distance apart and never meet.
Dos líneas o lados que se mantienen a la misma distancia y nunca se cruzan.
ES Base
Any side of a parallelogram can be the base. Once you pick a base, the height must be measured perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to it.
Cualquier lado de un paralelogramo puede ser la base. Una vez que eliges la base, la altura debe medirse perpendicular (en un ángulo de 90°) a ella.
ES Altura
The straight-up distance from the base to the top.
La distancia recta hacia arriba desde la base hasta la parte de arriba.
ES Perpendicular
Two lines that meet to make a square corner (90 degrees).
Dos líneas que se cruzan formando una esquina cuadrada (90 grados).
ES Área
How much space is inside a flat shape.
Cuánto espacio hay dentro de una figura plana.
ES Figura compuesta
A shape made by putting two or more simple shapes together.
Una figura formada al juntar dos o más figuras simples.
ES Fórmula
A math rule written with symbols.
Una regla matemática escrita con símbolos.
ES Rombo
A parallelogram with four sides of the same length.
Un paralelogramo con cuatro lados de la misma longitud.
ES Diagonal
A segment that joins two corners that are not next to each other.
Un segmento que une dos esquinas que no están una junto a la otra.
