To find the area of a parallelogram you have to find the height, which is not the slanted side, to find the height you have have to draw a line down from the highest point to the base so it forms a perpendicular line on both the top and bottom sides. Then from here you just do base times height and that's your area.

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height.
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
Area= base*height A=bh A hole= but+hole A=bh

The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.
