The area of a parallelogram can be found using the following equation:
In this problem, the height is 6 (not 8). Substitute the known variables and solve.
Example Question #433 : Intermediate Geometry
If the height of the parallelogram is half of the length of the rectangle, then find the area of the shaded region in the figure.
In order to find the area of the shaded region, we must first find the areas of the rectangle and parallelogram.
Recall how to find the area of a rectangle:
Substitute in the given length and height to find the area of the rectangle.
Next, find the area of the parallelogram.
Recall how to find the area of a parallelogram:
We need to find the height of the parallelogram. From the question, we know the following relationship:
Substitute in the length of the rectangle to find the height of the parallelogram.
Now, substitute in the height and the given length of the base to find the area of the parallelogram.
Now, we are ready to find the area of the shaded region by subtracting the area of the parallelogram from the area of the rectangle.
Example Question #1 : How To Find If Parallelograms Are Similar
A parallelogram has adjacent sides with the lengths of and . Find a pair of possible adjacent side lengths for a similar parallelogram.

and
Since the two parallelogram are similar, each of the corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The solution is:
, (divide both numbers by the common divisor of ).
