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)
area of a parallelogram=base*height(base multiplied by height).here "height" denotes the perpendicular distance between those two parallel sides one of which is taken as the base.
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
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.
The area of a polygon is the number of square units inside the polygon. Area is 2-dimensional like a carpet or an area rug. A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape formed by two pairs of parallel lines. Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: where is the base, is the height, and · means multiply. The base and height of a parallelogram must be perpendicular. However, the lateral sides of a parallelogram are not perpendicular to the base. Thus, a dotted line is drawn to represent the height.Example 1: Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters. Solution: = (12 cm) · (5 cm) = 60 cm2 ---- Example 2: Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 7 inches and a height of 10 inches. Solution: = (7 in) · (10 in) = 70 in2 ---- Example 3: The area of a parallelogram is 24 square centimeters and the base is 4 centimeters. Find the height. Solution: 24 cm2 = (4 cm) · 24 cm2 ÷ (4 cm) = = 6 cm ---- Summary: Given the base and height of a parallelogram, we can find the area. Given the area of a parallelogram and either the base or the height, we can find the missing dimension. The formula for area of a parallelogram is: where is the base, is the height, and · means multiply."1+1 =?""Have Fun"
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.

The area of a parallelogram (even with unequal adjacent sides) is still the base times the height. But the height is not the length of a side but the distance (at right angles to the base) between the base and the side parallel to it.
area of a parallelogram=base*height(base multiplied by height).here "height" denotes the perpendicular distance between those two parallel sides one of which is taken as the base.
To get the area of a parallelogram a person must multiply the height by the base. The height must be found by making a perpendicular line from the base of the parallelogram.

base*height
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
The area of a rectangle is Base x Height and its the same thing as a parallelogram but the area of a triangle is Base x Height divided by 2 So unless its a parallelogram you just X all the sides.
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.
