Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?
Area = base × height, where height is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite side.
Is a parallelogram's area the same as a rectangle's?
Only if it's a rectangle. Otherwise, you must use the perpendicular height, not the length of the slanted side.
How is a parallelogram related to a triangle?
A parallelogram can be split into two congruent triangles, each with half its area — base × height / 2.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, no account needed. Everything is calculated entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
