Python program to calculate the area of a parallelogram | source code

 what is parallelogram ? :

A four-sided plane rectilinear figure with opposite sides parallel.

Types of parallelogram :

• Rectangle
• Rhombus
• Square

Formula to calculate Area of parallelogram :

Let's Suppose a and b are the set of parallel sides of a parallelogram and h is the height of parallelogram, then based on the length of sides and height of it, the formula for its area is :

Area = Base × Height

A = b × h     [sq.unit]

Python program to calculate the area of a parallelogram :

l =float(input("Enter base/length of the parallelogram : "))

h =float(input("Enter height of the parallelogram : "))

area = l*h

print("The area of given parallelogram is : ", area)

Output :

 

Explanation of above code:

l =float(input("Enter base/length of the parallelogram : "))

  h =float(input("Enter height of the parallelogram : ")) 

Here,  l and h is variable that store a decimal value in which l store the value of base/lenght of the parallelogram and h store the value of height of the parallelogram.

area = l*h

then, area (variable ) store an expression (formula) that store the area of a parallelogram.

print("The area of given parallelogram is : ", area) 

 At last we print the area of the parallelogram.
