Problem Solution:

In this program, we will read the base and altitude from the user. Then we will calculate the area of the Parallelogram and print the result.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to calculate the area of the Parallelogram is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to calculate the 
# area of Parallelogram

base=0.0;
altitude=0.0;
area=0.0;

print "Enter base: ";
base = gets.chomp.to_f;  

print "Enter altitude: ";
altitude = gets.chomp.to_f;  

area = base * altitude;

print "Area of Parallelogram is: ",area;

Output:

Enter base: 3.13
Enter altitude: 4.6
Area of Parallelogram is: 14.397999999999998

Explanation:

In the above program, we created three variables base, altitude, area, that are initialized with 0.0. Then we read base, altitude from the user and calculated the area of Parallelogram using the standard formula. After that, we printed the result.
