int main(void) {
	float parallelogramBase;
	float parallelogramHeight;

	printf("Please enter base of parallelogram:");
	scanf("%f", &parallelogramBase);

	printf("Please enter height of parallelogram:");

	float areaOfParallelogram = parallelogramBase * parallelogramHeight;

	printf("Area of parallelogram is: %f", areaOfParallelogram);
