If you're building a garage like mine (which is not square to make the most use of the land available) you could use the area of a parallelogram when working out the amount of concrete to order for the base of the garage (knowing how thick the slab has to be).

What is the length of the base of a parallelogram with an area of 36 cm square and a height of 4.5 cm?

Well, darling, to find the base of a parallelogram, you use the formula area = base x height. Since the area is 36 cm square and the height is 4.5 cm, you plug those in and solve for the base. So, the base of this sassy parallelogram is 8 cm.

How do you find the area of a parallelogram?

For a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or square (i.e. a rhombus or rhomboid), multiply the base times the height. Draw a line through the parallelogram so that it is a large rectangle in the middle, and two small triangles to each side.Now you can see that the area of the parallelogram is the same as a rectangle of the same height and width. You must use the "height" (distance between top and bottom), not the length of the slanted sides.Area = base times height. (A=bh)Area = base*heightBase x height
