The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is the same as the formula to find the area of a rectangle. It is base times height, or B x h (the base is the same as the width). For example, if you have a parallelogram, the left or right side is going to be the height, and the bottom side of it is going to be the base. If the width of a parallelogram was 5 ft, and the height was 6 ft, and you multiplied it, you would get 30 ft2. You always put the 2 after the unit of measurement you are using, not your answer, because it is the sign for area, squared.

The area of a parallelogram: base times perpendicular height
The area of a parallelogram is length times perpendicular height
Yes - opposite sides of a square are parallel.
Base times height. This is the same formula as for a rectangle, however, in the case of a parallelogram, the base is one of the sides, and the height has to be measured perpendicular to that base.
To find the perimeter you add and to find the area we multiply.
