Given the parallelogram:
Calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram.
To calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram ABCD, we need the lengths of its two adjacent sides. Given that one side, AB, is 8 units, and recalling that adjacent parallelogram sides will mirror their opposites, AC represents a relevant measurement within the context—but sides not involved with inclination describe standard periphery bounds without adjustments (hence reliance on visually positioned evaluation without contradictions).
Following the perimeter formula for parallelograms:
In our shape, let’s define:
Plugging these values into our formula, we get:
Therefore, the perimeter of the parallelogram is units.

Given the parallelogram:
Calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram.
A parallelogram has 4 sides, but opposite sides are equal! So if you know two adjacent sides (like 8 and 6), you actually know all four sides: 8, 6, 8, 6. Multiplying by 2 counts both pairs.
Use any two adjacent sides (sides that meet at a corner). In this parallelogram, we can see sides of length 8 and 6 meeting at vertex A, so these are our a and b values.
You need at least two different side lengths to find a parallelogram's perimeter. If you only know one side, you can't determine the perimeter unless it's actually a special parallelogram like a rhombus (all sides equal).
Yes! A rectangle is a special type of parallelogram, so is the same as .
Absolutely! You can add . The formula is just a shortcut that does the same calculation faster.
