Equation
       
    Name Area of a Parallelogram
 
    Equation A = b ⁢ h = a ⁢ b ⁢ sin ⁢ A
 
    Definition of terms

A = area, a = length of side, b = length of side joined to a side of length a, h = perpendicular height, A = an interior angle

 
    Comments   A parallelogram is a four-sided shape with two pairs of parallel sides that are not at right angles. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the base times the perpendicular height taken from that base, or the product of the lengths of two adjacent sides and the sine of an interior angle.
