For a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or square (i.e. a rhombus or rhomboid), multiply the base times the height. Draw a line through the parallelogram so that it is a large rectangle in the middle, and two small triangles to each side.
Now you can see that the area of the parallelogram is the same as a rectangle of the same height and width. You must use the "height" (distance between top and bottom), not the length of the slanted sides.
Area = base times height. (A=bh)
Area = base*height
Base x height

How do you find the surface area of a parallelogram?
The formula to find the surface area of a parallelogram is Base*Height.
Find the area of parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the length of the base by the height. The height should be perpendicular to the base.
How is the formula for the parallelogram related to the area formula of the rectangle?
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.
How do you find the area of an irregular parallelogram?
To find the area of any parallelogram, whether it be irregular or not, just multiply the base by the height. * Ap = bh
