If the base is a rectangle, use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
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
The formula for area of a parallelogram is bh. Base times height.
The formula for the area of a quadrilateral is... BASE*HEIGHT/3
The area of a parallelogram is base x height.
