Parallelogram Area Calculator
Calculate the area of a parallelogram using base and height, or side lengths and angle.
Enter base and height to calculate area.
Parallelogram Area Formula
Area = base × height
Perimeter = 2(a + b)
Perimeter = 2(a + b)
Example: Base = 10, height = 6.
Area = 10 × 6 = 60 square units
Area = 10 × 6 = 60 square units
Properties of a Parallelogram
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal.
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other (but are not necessarily equal).
- Area can also be calculated as a × b × sin(θ) where θ is the included angle.
FAQ
Is the height the same as the side?
No. The height is the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side, not the slant side length.
