# Kotlin Program to Find the Area of a parallelogram

In this article, we will understand how to find the area of a parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula by

base * height


Below is a demonstration of the same −

Suppose our input is −

Base: 6
Height: 8


The desired output would be −

Area of parallelogram is: 48


## Algorithm

• Step 1 − START.

• Step 2 − Declare three values namely base, height and myResult.

• Step 3 − 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

In this example, we will find the area of a Parallelogram with the base and height. First, we will declare and initialize the variables for base height.

val base = 5
val height = 8


Then, we will find the area using the formulae given above. The area of parallelogram will get saved in the variable myResult.

val myResult = base * height


Let us see the final example to find the area of a Parallelogram with the base and height.

fun main() {
val base = 5
val height = 8
println("The sides of the parallelogram are defined as $base,$height, $base,$height")
val myResult = base * height
}


## Output

The sides of the parallelogram are defined as 5, 8, 5, 8
The area of parallelogram is: 40
