How to find the height of a parallelogram calculator

Q: What is the height and base of a parallelogram?

In a parallelogram, the term base refers to the length of one side and height to the length of a perpendicular segment between that side and the opposite side.

A parallelogram has four sides where the opposite sides are parallel. A rectangle can be thought of as a parallelogram where all angles are right angles (90°). The parallelogram is a special case of the trapezium.

The way the tool works is by reading the attributes that has been entered and using them to calculate the unknown attributes of the parallelogram. If there is not enough information to calculate a certain attribute it will be displayed as a question mark. For example, if only the height and side a is known it is possible to calculate the area but nothing else. If some of the values contradict each other so that it is impossible to construct a valid parallelogram the tool will instead display an error message.

You might wonder why the letters used for the sides and angles skip some letters in the alphabet. The reason for this is to make it more consistent with the trapezium tool in the hope that it will be less confusing in case you use both tools.

Purpose of useFrom a site map that was a perfect parallelogram, verify square feet (and acreage). Comment/RequestTo the non math major units of measure and symbol syntax are always vexing. Would be great to have angle input in either decimal or degrees-minutes-seconds (not hard to convert but requires extra steps). Would also be good to have an Excel formula. In Excel, the Sin function requires input in Radians, so side1 * side2 * sin( pi() / 180 )

How do you find the height of a parallelogram without height?

To find the missing base, you simply divided the area by the given height. This will work the same way if you are looking for the height. To find the missing height, divide the area by the given base. Consider this parallelogram where height is the missing dimension.

What is the height of a parallelogram called?

Both the side (the segment) and its length (the measurement) are called the base. If we draw any perpendicular segment from a point on the base to the opposite side of the parallelogram, that segment will always have the same length. We call that value the height.

What is the height and base of a parallelogram?

In a parallelogram, the term "base" refers to the length of one side and "height" to the length of a perpendicular segment between that side and the opposite side.
