ba = basis x height.
The area formula for the parallelogram is related to the area formula for a rectangle because you can make the parallelogram into a rectangle to find the area.
The formula for area of a parallelogram is bh. Base times height.
A formula is needed to find the area of a parallelogram. It is a very simple formula which notates Area = base x height.
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
rectangle
Rectangle
Octagon
The formula to find the surface area of a parallelogram is Base*Height.
Hopefully you've been given the parallelogram's area. If so you can use the following formula: Area of parallelogram = base length x altitude therefore altitude = area of parallelogram (divided by) base length
Assuming that you are asking about the formula for the AREA of a parallelogram (there is no formula for a parallelogram), A = bh where A is the "area", b is the length of any side (called a "base"), and h is the "height" measured perpendicular from that base to the opposite side.
The area of a parallelogram in word form is base times height.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is a combination of the formulas for the areas of a triangle and a rectangle. It can be seen as two congruent triangles placed together to form a parallelogram. So, the formula for the area of a parallelogram is a generalization of the formula for the area of a trapezoid.
