Area of parallelogram = base x height ⇒ area = 5 ft x 8 ft = 40 ft2
12ft2
9ft and 5ft
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 is Area=base times height.
