Calculator
Formula
The area of a parallelogram is calculated using:
Area = Base × Height
Where base is the length of any side, and height is the perpendicular distance between that side and its opposite.
Example Values
| Base | Height | Area |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8 | 40 |
| 12 | 7 | 84 |
| 15 | 6 | 90 |

FAQs
What units does the calculator use?
The calculator works with any consistent units (cm, inches, meters). Always specify your units as results are unit-agnostic.
Can I calculate area with angles?
This calculator uses base-height method. For angle-based calculations, different formula is required (Area = ab sinθ).
Is this calculator accurate?
Yes, provides precise calculations using JavaScript's floating-point arithmetic with up to 15-digit precision.
Can I use decimals?
Absolutely! Enter decimal values like 7.5 or 12.34 for precise calculations.
Mobile compatibility?
Fully responsive design works on all devices - smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers.
