Program to find the Area of a Parallelogram

Last Updated : 01 Nov, 2018

Given the sides of a Parallelogram, task is calculate the area of a Parallelogram.

Examples:

Input: base = 30, height = 40
Output: 1200.000000
    As Area of parallelogram = base * height,
    Therefore, Area = 30 * 40 = 1200.00

Approach:

Area of parallelogram = base * height

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
  
// function to calculate the area 
float CalArea(float base, float height) 
{ 
    return (base * height); 
} 
// driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    float base, height, Area; 
    base = 30; 
    height = 40; 
  
    // function calling 
    Area = CalArea(base, height); 
    // displaying the area 
    cout << "Area of Parallelogram is :" << Area; 
    return 0; 
} 

C

#include <stdio.h> 
  
// function to calculate the area 
float CalArea(float base, float height) 
{ 
    return (base * height); 
} 
  
// driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    float base, height, Area; 
    base = 30; 
    height = 40; 
  
    // function calling 
    Area = CalArea(base, height); 
  
    // displaying the area 
    printf("Area of Parallelogram is : %f\n", Area); 
    return 0; 
} 

Java

public class parallelogram { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        int base = 30; 
        int height = 40; 
  
        // formula for calculating the area 
        int area_parallelogram = base * height; 
  
        // displayin g the area 
        System.out.println("Area of the parallelogram = " + area_parallelogram); 
    } 
} 

Python

base = 30 
height = 40  
  
# formula for finding the area 
area_parallelogram = base * height 
  
# displaying the output 
print("Area of the parallelogram = "+str(area_parallelogram)) 

C#

using System; 
class parallelogram  
{ 
public static void Main() 
{ 
    int b_ase = 30; 
    int height = 40; 
  
    // formula for calculating the area 
    int area_parallelogram = b_ase * height; 
  
    // displayin g the area 
    Console.WriteLine("Area of the parallelogram = " +  
                                  area_parallelogram); 
} 
} 
  
// This code is contributed by vt_m 

PHP

<?php     
   $base = 30;   
   $height = 40;   
   $area_parallelogram=$base*$height;   
    echo "Area of the parallelogram = ";   
    echo $area_parallelogram;   
?>  

Output:

Area of Parallelogram is : 1200.000000
