Use familiar figures to find the area and perimeter of each figure.
The parallelogram has a base measuring 8 meters, sides measuring 2.8 meters, and a height measuring 4 meters.
The rectangle has a length measuring 8 meters and a width measuring 6 meters.
The base of the triangle and length of the rectangle combined is 14 meters. The triangle has a left, attached leg (height) measuring 6 meters and a hypotenuse measuring 10 meters.
Parallelogram:
Area = 8 x 4 = 32 m^2
Perimeter = 8 + 2.8 + 2.8 + 8 = 21.6 m
Rectangle:
Area = 8 x 6 = 48 m^2
Perimeter = 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 28 m
Triangle:
Area = (1/2) x 6 x 10 = 30 m^2
Perimeter = 14 + 6 + 10 = 30 m
