The area of any parallelogram is the length of the base times the length of the height, where the base and height must be perpendicular. This is easy to apply to rectangles and squares because the sides are perpendicular- area equals base times height (or length times width, if you'd rather- the key is that they're perpendicular.) As for any shape, the perimeter is equal to the sum of all of the sides.
