Parallelogram Area

Formula

Area = base × height

Perimeter = 2 × (base + side)

The height is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel bases, not the slant side length.

Example Calculation

Parallelogram with base 8, height 5, and side 6.

  1. 01Area = 8 × 5 = 40
  2. 02Perimeter = 2 × (8 + 6) = 28
