What Is Parallelogram Area?
The area of a parallelogram is the surface covered by a parallelogram whose base and the height perpendicular to that base are known.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
Area = base × height
- Enter the base and height.
- Multiply the two values.
The height is the perpendicular distance to the base; it is not the slanted side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the slanted side and the height the same?
No; the height is the perpendicular distance to the base, which differs from the slanted side.
