Solution

Determining the area of a parallelogram.

Parallelogram.

The parallelogram is a 2D geometrical form with parallel sides.
It is a 4-sided polygon with equal-length parallel sides.
A parallelogram's adjacent angles add up to180°.

Area of a parallelogram.

The area of a parallelogram is the region bounded by the parallelogram. It's a type of quadrilateral that has four sides, two of which are parallel. The opposing sides of a parallelogram are equal in length, as are the opposite angles.

A parallelogram's opposite sides are of equal length, and its opposite angles are of equal size. Since a rectangle and a parallelogram have identical properties, their areas are equal.

The formula for the area of a parallelogram.

Area = b × h Square units

Where

  • b= base
  • h = height

Hence, the area of a parallelogram is multiplying the base of the perpendicular by its height.
