The area of all parallelograms is computed by multiplying the base times the height/altitude (the distance between the two bases using a line perpendicular [at right angles to] to the bases). Therefore, to find the answers you seek, divide the number of square units by the altitudes. This will give you the length of the base.
If you need the length of the other two sides, you would need to take measurements and apply the Pythagorean theorem if the parallelograms in question were not rectangles. This can be done by drawing a perpendicular line from the base to the opposite corner to create a right triangle.
