Given the parallelogram:
Calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram.
A parallelogram has four sides, but opposite sides are equal in length. So instead of adding all four sides separately, we add the two different side lengths and multiply by 2!
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are always equal. If you see sides labeled 4 and 2, then the opposite sides are also 4 and 2 respectively.
Yes! You can add 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 12. The formula is just a shortcut that gives the same result more quickly.
The shape doesn't matter for perimeter! Whether the parallelogram is a rectangle, rhombus, or slanted, you still add up all four side lengths the same way.
No! Perimeter only depends on the lengths of the sides, not the angles. The angles don't affect how far you'd walk around the edge.
