A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape formed by two pairs of lines. Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is:[IMAGE]
A = b x h  where b is the base, h is the height, and · means multiply.
The base and height of a parallelogram must be . However, the lateral sides of a parallelogram are not perpendicular to the base. Thus, a dotted line is drawn to represent the height.

I believe this is what you needed.....
