The formula for the area of a parallelogram is heightxbase
the reason that that is the formula is because it has th same height on both sides and the base stays the same even if it was on a unique angle and that's how you get the area of a parallelogram.
The area of a parallelogram is base time height.

Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?
I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
Why do the parallelogram and the rectangle have the same area?
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
How can you find the area of a parallelogram if you only know the side lengths?
The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height. You can find the maximum area of a parallelogram by multiplying the length of a short side by the length of a long side. (This would be the area if the parallelogram were a rectangle.)You cannot know the area of a parallelogram if all you know is the length of the sides; you can only know the maximumpossible area. Imagine you slant the parallelogram a lot. The area will decrease, but the side lengths will stay the same.
What is the area of a parallelogram that has 11 ft and 9 .4 ft?
The lengths of the sides of a parallelogram is not enough information to determine its area.
What is the area of a parallelogram if the base is 6.5 and the height is 1.5?
Area of a parallelogram = base * height = 6.5 * 1.5 = 9.75 square units.
