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.

<span class="token punctuation">}</span>
</div><div class="output-wrapper"><div class="console-close"></div><div class="code-output"></div></div>

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 ?
