That depends upon what you know about the parallelogram.
If you know the area and base length, then:
area of parallelogram = base X height
height =area / base
If you know the lengths of the two pairs of parallel sides and the angles, then trigonometry can be used.
If the height is required between one pair of sides, then:
height = other_side_length / sine(angle_between_sides)

How do you calculate the sides of a parallelogram given the height and longer diagonal?
The height and longer diagonal do not provide enough information to calculate the sides.
What is the formula used to calculate the area of a parallelogram?
Base x Height
What is the formula to calculate a parallelogram?
Perimeter is the sum of its 4 sides Area is its length times its perpendicular height
How do you get the area of a parallelogram that has two different height measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base. If you correctly measure the height perpendicular to the base and you get different measurements, then you are NOT dealing with a parallelogram.
What is the value of a parallelogram?
That depends on what aspect of the parallelogram you want to calculate.
How do you calculate area of parallelogram with height and width given?
Multiply the height by the width

Calculate the square meters of area for a parallelogram 4.65M long having a perpendicular height of 1.5M?
The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.
How do you calculate the area of a parallelogram?
u find the area of a parallelogram by multiplying the base times the height. u can't do it if there is no height. the height of the paralellogram is the line from the highest point of the parallelogram to the lowest point. then, u put the unit of measurement at the end of ur answer and a small 2 next to that to get the correct label if ur doing homework or a test. __________________________________________________________________________ A= 1/2 x B x H A parallelogram is half the size of a square so the area has to be half of a parallelogram

What is the area of a parallelogram with base and height?
base*height
The height of a parallelogram is the length of its?
The height is the length of its altitude.
Why do you not usually multiply the side lengths of a parallelogram to calculate its area?
To find area you need base and height of a parallelogram. A = BH Not all the side lengths given would be base or height. Side lengths are perfect to find perimeter but don't rely on the side lengths for area.
What is the formula of a parallelogram if one whole side is one number?
To calculate the perimeter, add the four sides. To calculate the area, calculate base x height, where the height must be perpendicular to the base. In any case, you need more than just the length of one side to do the calculations.
