Sure. The area of a parallelogram is (length of base) times (vertical height).
Many pairs of numbers can have the same product, but if the (base / height)
of two parallelograms are different pairs of numbers, then their shapes are
different.
Example:
A rectangle is a parallelogram that's easy to work with.
Take two rectangles:
Rectangle #1: Length=6, Width=5, Area=30
Rectangle #2: Length=15, Width=2, Area=30
These rectangles certainly have different shapes. In #1, the length is 83% of
the width, and in #2, the length is only 13% of the width.
But they both have the same area.

What is the periphery of 1 hectare?
That depends on the shape of the area. You can have different shapes that have the same area, but a different circumference.
Is it possible to have two shapes with the same surface area but different volumes?
Absolutely.
How two parallelograms could have the same area but different perimeters?
yes, for example:a 4 by 5 rectangle has an area of 20 and a perimeter of 18a 2 by 7 rectangle has an area of 14 and a perimeter of 18yes, for example:
How do you determine the area of a rectangle if you know the perimeter?
You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same perimeter.
How are congruent and similar shapes different?
Similar shapes are the same shape and not the same size but congruent shapes are exactly alike
