This result is the area of the parallelogram, measured in square units, from the base and the vertical height entered.

Formula

Parallelogram area = base × height, using the vertical height, not the slanted side.

How it works

Enter the base and the vertical height. The calculator multiplies them. Note the height is measured straight up, not along the slant.
