Understanding Parallelograms

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel (and thus opposite angles equal). To find the area of a parallelogram, you need two key measurements: the base and the height.

Formula: Area = base × height

The base is the length of one side of the parallelogram, and the height is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite side. This calculator simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly determine the area for various applications, from geometry problems to architectural designs.
