This is the exact same answer as the area of a 10in x 24in rectangle. Essentially, you are multiplying the base and height of a rectangle to get its area, too.

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base x height, therefore the formula for the base is: base = A ÷ height base = 288in2 ÷ 12in base = 24in
The parallelogram has twice the area of the triangle if their bases are the same and their heights are the same. Area triangle = 1/2 base x height. Area parallelogram = base x height.
The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base. If you correctly measure the height perpendicular to the base and you get different measurements, then you are NOT dealing with a parallelogram.
The Area of a parallelogram is Area=base times height.
You can find the height of a parallelogram given the area and base measures by working backwards from the area formula. The area of a parallelogram is found with the formula: Area = Base * Height To solve this equation for Height, we divide both sides by the base. Area / Base = (Base * Height) / Base Simplify: Area / Base = Height
