Parallelogram Calculator

Calculate area and perimeter from base, height, and side length.

Formula

A = b×h, P = 2(b+s)

Area equals base times height. Perimeter is 2 times the sum of base and side.

Examples

Base=8, Height=5, Side=6

Base=10, Height=4, Side=7

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the area of a parallelogram calculated?

A = base × height, where height is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides.

What is the perimeter of a parallelogram?

P = 2(base + side), since opposite sides are equal.
