Parallelogram Area Calculator
Find the area of a parallelogram from its base and vertical height.
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.
Worked example
For example, a base of 9 and a height of 5 gives an area of 45 square units: 9 × 5 = 45.
