Formula For Area Of A Parallelogram Formula For Area Of A Parallelogram In the Euclidean plane, various types of geometrical shapes and figures are defined on two dimensional planes. In geometrical mathematics, various types of shapes and figures are defined that are used to solving the various kinds of problem that are related to the calculation of mathematics. To solve these various kinds of problem, in mathematical geometry the great mathematician Mr. Euclidean gave different theories on geometrical shapes. From different kinds of geometrical shape parallelogram is a type of geometry figure which can be considered as a quadrilateral. In geometrical mathematics, quadrilateral is a geometrical figure which can be categorized into two ways like convex and concave. Here parallelogram is a figure which can be consider as convex quadrilateral. Parallelogram is a figure which is enclosed with the several lines. Number lines in the parallelogram are not fixing. It means that parallelogram is a geometrical shape that has two pair of parallel sides.

The angles of the parallelogram have a measure of equal length. In the below we show you some of the properties of the parallelogram that helps in understanding the concept of parallelogram. Properties of the parallelogram: The diagonal of the any given quadrilateral divides the quadrilateral into congruent triangles of the similar size. In the shape of parallelogram, the opposite sides have the measure of equal length. It must contains the at least one pair of opposite sides are parallel and they must be in equal length. The diagonal of the parallelogram bisect to each other at the central point of the parallelogram. In parallelogram, the sum of square of the sides equals to the sum of the square of the diagonal. As like the other geometrical shape, the parallelogram also has their surface area. In geometrical mathematics various type of formulas are define to calculate the area of the different geometrical shapes. At the time of calculating the area of parallelogram we need to perform the multiplication of the base of the parallelogram with the height of the parallelogram. In the mathematical notation, the formula for calculating the area of parallelogram can be written as: Formula for Area of a Parallelogram = Base * height. This can also be represented as: A (P) = b * h In the above notation the symbol A ( P) is used to represent the area of parallelogram. The other symbol ‘b’ and ‘h’ are used to represent the value of the base and height of the parallelogram respectively.

Example: Find the area of a parallelogram which has the value of the base is 12 inches and it has the height of 5 inches? Solution: In the above question given that: The value of Base is = 12 inches, The value of height is = 5 inches, So, by applying the formula of area of parallelogram: A = b * h, A = 12 * 5, A = 60 inches2. Here in the above notation we use the power of two with the inches in the final answer. The reason behind using the power of two is that during the calculation of area of parallelogram two units of inches are multiplied that why we use the power of 2 with the inches in final answer.
