Parallelogram/Rhombus height calculator

Height in geometry - a segment of a perpendicular dropped from the top of a geometric figure to its base or to the continuation of the base. By height is also meant the length of this segment.

Parallelogram — is a quadrangle in which the opposite sides are pairwise parallel, that is, they lie on parallel lines. Particular cases of a parallelogram are a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus.

Both for the rhombus and for the parallelogram, the height can be found by the ratio of the sine of the angle α (opposite the height) and the side, as shown in the formula above.
