What is a Parallelogram ?

A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. Additionally, opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal. It is a special case of a quadrilateral, and its properties make it useful in geometry and various mathematical applications.

The formula for calculating the area (A) of a parallelogram is given by:

A = b x h

where:

• A is the area of the parallelogram
• b is the length of any one of the parallel sides (base),
• h is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite parallel side.

To find the area, you multiply the length of the base by the height. It's important to note that the height is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite parallel side.
