Area of a Parallelogram
A parallelogram is a four-sided figure in which the opposite sides and angles are equal. It can be considered as being made up of two same triangles sticked base to base.
The area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height
and the area of a parallelogram is the addition of areas of the two same triangles.
Example
Consider a paralleogram as shown in the figure.
Therefore, Area = 6 * 2.5 = 15 (m)^2
