area of a parallelogram
A = bh
To find the area of a parallelogram, we need to multiply the base (the length of one side) by the height (the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite side).
So, if b is the length of the base, and h is the height, then the area A of the parallelogram is:
A = b x h
For example, if a parallelogram has a base of 8 units and a height of 5 units, we can find its area as:
A = 8 x 5 = 40 square units.
Therefore, the area of the given parallelogram is 40 square units.
