Parallelogram Area Calculator

Calculate the area of a parallelogram using base and height measurements

Base (length in meters):

Height (length in meters):

Area = Base × Height

Where:
Base = Length of the base of the parallelogram
Height = Perpendicular height from the base to the opposite side

Area (square meters):

Parallelogram Area Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Parallelogram Area Calculator and its working principles

Enter the length of the base of the parallelogram in meters.
Enter the height of the parallelogram in meters (the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side).
Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area.
The area will be displayed in square meters.

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula:

Area = Base × Height

This formula works because a parallelogram can be rearranged into a rectangle with the same area by sliding one of its triangular halves.

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

Area = 5 m × 3 m = 15 square meters
