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 println("The area of parallelogram is: $myResult") }

Output

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

Example 2

In this example, we will find the Area of a parallelogram −

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

Output

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