Formula
The Parallelogram Calculator uses the formula:
Area = Base × Height (perpendicular)
Worked example
For example, with base of 6 units, height (perpendicular) of 4 units and slant side of 5 units, the area is 24.0000.
| Base | 6 units |
|---|---|
| Height (perpendicular) | 4 units |
| Slant side | 5 units |
| Area | 24.0000 |
|---|---|
| Perimeter | 22.0000 |

Key terms explained
- Perimeter
- The total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.
- Area
- The amount of two-dimensional space a shape covers, measured in square units.
Frequently asked questions
Multiply the base by the perpendicular height: A = b × h. A base of 6 and height of 4 give an area of 24 square units.
The height must be measured at a right angle to the base, not along the slanted side, otherwise the area would be too large.
Add the two pairs of equal sides: P = 2 × (base + slant side). With a base of 6 and side of 5, the perimeter is 22 units.
Yes. A rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles, so its slant side equals its height.
