You cannot. There are an infinite number of paralellograms with the same base and height but with different "slant" sides.

Imagine two parallel line segments, one directly above the other. If you were to join their ends together, they would form a rectangle. Now move the top line across. The height remains the same but the slant line becomes longer. Keep going and you can make the slant line longer and longer still.
