diagram
The first figure is formed by 1 trapezoid. The left side equals 5, the top side equals 8, the left side equals 5, and the bottom side equals 6.
The second figure is formed by 2 adjacent trapezoids from left to right. The left side equals 5, the top side is formed by two segments equal to 8 and 6 respectively, the right side equals 5, and the bottom side is formed by two segments equals to 6 and 8 respectively.
The third figure is formed by 3 adjacent trapezoids from left to right. The left side equals 5, the top side is formed by 3 segments equal to 8, 6, and 8 respectively, the right side equals 5, and the bottom side is formed by three segments equal to 6, 8, and 6 respectively.

The perimeter P is equal to the length of the sum of the bases of one parallelogram multiplied by the number of parallelograms in the figure n plus the length of another side. The equation for the perimeter is P = 10n + 4.
The perimeter P is equal to the length of a side of one parallelogram multiplied by the number of parallelogram in the figure n plus the length of the sum of the bases. The equation for the perimeter is P = 4n + 10.
The perimeter P is equal to the length of a side of one parallelogram multiplied by the number of parallelogram in the figure n plus the length of one of the bases. The equation for the perimeter is P = 4n + 5.
The perimeter P is equal to the length of the sum of the bases of one parallelogram multiplied by the number of parallelograms in the figure n plus two times the length of another side. The equation for the perimeter is P = 10n + 8.
