About this calculation
The area of a parallelogram is a measure of the space enclosed by the four sides of parallelogram. To calculate the area of a parallelogram, you need the base and height of the parallelogram.
Base (b) is the length of the base side.
Height (h) is the perpendicular distance between the base and its parallel side.
Formula
To calculate the parallelogram area, you can use the following formula.
Area = \( b h \)
