Formula of perimeter of parallelogram

perimeter is adding up all sides, so you just need to add up all the lengths, widths, and heights

Thank you so much for your help caring person.are you a teacher or student tell me if you don't mind

The formula to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram is:

Perimeter = 2(a + b)

where 'a' is the length of one of the parallel sides, and 'b' is the length of the other parallel side.

To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, you need to know the length of both parallel sides. Once you have those measurements, you can substitute the values into the formula and calculate the perimeter by performing the addition and multiplication operations as indicated.

Let's go through an example:

Example: Find the perimeter of a parallelogram with side lengths of 5 units and 9 units.

Using the formula, we substitute 'a' and 'b' with the given side lengths:

Perimeter = 2(5 + 9)

Now, we simplify the expression within the parentheses by adding the values:

Perimeter = 2(14)

Next, we calculate the result of the multiplication by multiplying 2 and 14:

Perimeter = 28

Therefore, the perimeter of the parallelogram with side lengths of 5 units and 9 units is 28 units.
