Parallelogram Area Calculator

    Calculate parallelogram area from base and height, two sides with the included angle, diagonals with their angle, or two sides and one diagonal.

    Without the side length, perimeter and diagonals are not determined.
    The side length is optional. Without it, the calculator can find area, but perimeter, angles, and diagonals are not determined. Changing the length unit converts entered lengths and recomputes the result.

    Parallelogram area from the values you know

    English search results for this intent expect more than a single base-height formula. This calculator keeps base and height first, then adds sides with included angle, diagonals with their included angle, and two sides with one diagonal.

    A is area; b is the base; h is the perpendicular height.

    a and b are adjacent sides; theta is the included angle.

    d_1 and d_2 are diagonals; phi is the angle between them.

    Supported input modes

    Known valuesWhat the calculator returns
    Base and heightArea directly; side length is optional for perimeter and diagonals.
    Two sides and included angleArea, height, perimeter, both diagonals, and angles.
    Two diagonals and angleArea, side lengths, height, perimeter, and angles.
    Two sides and one diagonalThe included angle first, then area and related values.
    The height is perpendicular to the chosen base. A slanted side is not the same measurement as height unless the shape is a rectangle.
