You take your ruler and put it along the edge you want to merasure, line the begining of the scale (0) up with the corner and read off the length at the other corner.
It is the base.
Divide the length of one side by the length of an adjacent side.
It is usually called the "base".
A parallelogram is just a rectangle leaned to one side
You cannot. With only the base given (a parallelogram) you don't even know what the shape is: it could be a parallelepiped, or a parallelogram based pyramid or one of several other shapes.

If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of two side lengths within one parallelogram will describe the relationship between the corresponding side lengths in a similar parallelogram. If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in the other parallelogram will give you the scale factor that relates each side length in one parallelogram to the corresponding side length in a similar parallelogram.
To construct a parallelogram with one side and two diagonals given, start by drawing the given side as one of the sides of the parallelogram. Label the endpoints of this side. Then, using a compass, draw arcs from each endpoint of the side with radii equal to the lengths of the diagonals, intersecting at two points. These intersection points will be the other two vertices of the parallelogram. Finally, connect these vertices to form the complete parallelogram.
A parallelogram is a shape or figure with Four sides that have one of the opposite sides of one side the same lenth. So a square IS a parallelogram.
A pentagon
To create a hexagon using two triangles and a parallelogram, start by positioning the parallelogram horizontally. Place one triangle on one side of the parallelogram, ensuring that the base of the triangle aligns with the edge of the parallelogram. Then, place the second triangle on the opposite side of the parallelogram, mirroring the first triangle. This arrangement will form a hexagon, with the triangles serving as the top and bottom points, while the parallelogram provides the central structure.
