Calculating Parallelogram Area: Formula, Derivation, And Applications
The area of a parallelogram is the measure of its two-dimensional surface area. It is calculated using the formula A = b * h, where ‘b’ represents the base length of the parallelogram and ‘h’ represents its height, or perpendicular distance from the base to any of the other parallel sides. This formula is derived from the area formula for a rectangle, which is a special case of a parallelogram where the base and height are perpendicular.
