Area of Parallelogram Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the length of the base of the parallelogram in the "Base" field.
2. Enter the height of the parallelogram in the "Height" field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area.
4. The calculated area will be displayed in the "Area" field.

Understanding the Formula

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula:

Area = Base × Height

This formula works because the area of a parallelogram is the product of its base length and the height (the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side).

Example

If the base of a parallelogram is 5 units and the height is 3 units, the area would be:

Area = 5 × 3 = 15 square units
