Java Program to Find the Area of a Parallelogram
In this article, we will understand how to find the area of a parallelogramA parallelogram has two pairs of parallel equal opposite sides. It has a base and a height which is the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite parallel side.
The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula −
base * height i.e. b x h
Below is a demonstration of the same −
Input
Suppose our input is −
Base : 6 Height : 8
Output
The desired output would be −
Area parallelogram is : 48
Algorithm
Step 1 - START Step 2 - Declare three integer values values namely Step 3 - Read the required values from the user/ define the values Step 4 - Calculate the area using the formula by base * height and store the result. Step 5 - Display the result Step 6 - Stop
Example 1
Here, the input is being entered by the user based on a prompt. You can try this example live in ourcoding ground tool 
.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class AreaOfParallelogram{
public static void main(String args[]){
int base, height, my_area;
System.out.println("Required packages have been imported");
Scanner my_scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("A reader object has been defined ");
System.out.print("Enter the value of parallelogram base : ");
base = my_scanner.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the value of parallelogram base : ");
height = my_scanner.nextInt();
my_area=base*height;
System.out.println("The area of the parallelogram is : "+my_area);
}
}Output
Required packages have been imported A reader object has been defined Enter the value of parallelogram base : 6 Enter the value of parallelogram base : 8 The area of the parallelogram is : 48
Example 2
Here, the integer has been previously defined, and its value is accessed and displayed on the console.
public class AreaOfParallelogram{
public static void main(String args[]){
int base, height;
base=6;
height=8;
System.out.println("The base and height values are defined as " +base +" and " +height);
int my_area=base*height;
System.out.println("The area of the parallelogram is : "+my_area);
}
}Output
The base and height values are defined as 6 and 8 The area of the parallelogram is : 48
