The area formula for a parallelogram is b*h=A (base times height equals area) this worjs because if you took the angled section from one side and put it against the angled section of the other, it will actually form a regular rectangle. Another option is 1/2*Pa=A (one half times perimeter times apothem equals area, or perimeter times apothem divided by two equals area) this formula will actually work for any regular polygon, hiwever it is harder to implement.

A formula is needed to find the area of a parallelogram. It is a very simple formula which notates Area = base x height.
Area = length*perpendicular height
The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is Base x Height (B*H). When dots are plotted on a coordinate plane, you can find these values either through the process of ordered pair subtraction or by counting the number of units between each point. You multiply these values and their product is the area.
To find the area of a parallelogram you have to multiply the base by the height. Therefore A=17∙13. Find the product of 17 and 13 which is 221. A=221. Therefore the area of the parallelogram is 221u(for units)2.
