To get the area of a parallelogram a person must multiply the height by the base. The height must be found by making a perpendicular line from the base of the parallelogram.

the area of a parallelogram is:

base x height

however, the height is not the length of one of the sides, it is the perpendicular line running from the base to the top.

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = b * h. Or area equals base times height.
