The image contains a set of statements about parallelograms with a request to agree or disagree and provide reasoning. Here are the statements extracted from the image:

1. **The base of a parallelogram is always perpendicular to its height.**
2. **The opposite sides of a parallelogram have the same length.**
3. **The area of a parallelogram is equal to the base times the height.**
4. **The angles of a parallelogram are right angles.**
5. **A parallelogram has exactly one pair of parallel sides.**

Let's analyze and determine whether each statement is true or false:

1. **False.** The base and the height of a parallelogram are perpendicular, but the base isn't necessarily perpendicular to the sides. The height is a line drawn perpendicular from the base to the opposite side, not the base itself.
  
2. **True.** By definition, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.

3. **True.** The area of a parallelogram is calculated as the base times the height (Area = base × height).

4. **False.** Parallelograms do not necessarily have right angles. Only rectangles (which are specific types of parallelograms) have right angles.

5. **False.** A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides, not just one.

Would you like to dive deeper into any of these concepts? Here are some follow-up questions:

1. What is the difference between a parallelogram and a rectangle?
2. How do you derive the formula for the area of a parallelogram?
3. What other shapes are considered parallelograms besides rectangles?
4. How are the properties of diagonals in a parallelogram useful?
5. How do you find the height of a parallelogram if you only know the side lengths and angles?

**Tip:** To remember properties of parallelograms easily, think of them as "tilted rectangles" but with equal opposite sides and parallel opposite sides.

Do you agree or disagree with each of these statements? Explain your reasoning.

Analyze key statements about parallelograms, covering geometric properties such as opposite sides and angles, area formula, and the difference between parallelograms and rectangles. Suitable for middle school students (Grades 6-8).
