That depends upon what you know about the parallelogram.

If you know the area and base length, then:

area of parallelogram = base X height

height =area / base

If you know the lengths of the two pairs of parallel sides and the angles, then trigonometry can be used.

If the height is required between one pair of sides, then:

height = other_side_length / sine(angle_between_sides)

How do you calculate the area of a parallelogram?

u find the area of a parallelogram by multiplying the base times the height. u can't do it if there is no height. the height of the paralellogram is the line from the highest point of the parallelogram to the lowest point. then, u put the unit of measurement at the end of ur answer and a small 2 next to that to get the correct label if ur doing homework or a test. __________________________________________________________________________ A= 1/2 x B x H A parallelogram is half the size of a square so the area has to be half of a parallelogram


How do you get the area of a parallelogram that has two different height measurements?

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.

Is it ever possible for the height of a parallelogram to be one of the parallelogram's sides?

YES. A square is a parallelogram and, its height is one of the sides. (Same goes for every rectangle, not only squares.)


What angle does the height intersect with the base of a parallelogram?

The height is a perpendicular angle from the base. The sides of the parallelogram are slanted tho and this will vary for every parallelogram. To find the height you typically make a triangle with one of the slanted sides.
