Area Comparison of Parallelogram and Rectangle

Consider a parallelogram and a rectangle. The parallelogram has a base of 10 units and a height of 5 units. The rectangle has a length of 8 units and a width of 6 units.

First, calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula:

$$A = base imes height$$

Then, calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula:

$$A = length imes width$$

Compare the two areas to determine which shape has a greater area.
