The area formula is the same for a rectangle, square, and parallelogram because these shapes might change when they are formed differently, but the dimentions and measurements will stay the same.
The length of Tennessee is about 430 miles, and the width is about 110 miles. That would make the area of Tennessee 47,300 sq. miles.
The actual area of Tennessee is 42,144 sq. miles, seeing as Tennessee isn't an exact parallelogram.
