WILL GIVE BRIANLIEST in the diagram below what is the relationship between the number of parallelograms ,n,and the perimeter,p,of the figure they form? plz help i dont understand how to do this if your in connections then you might could help.

A.The equation for the perimeter is p=10n+4
B.The equation for the perimeter is p=4n+10
C.The equation for the perimeter is p=4n+5
D.The equation for the perimeter is p=10n+8.
PLZ HELP ME

Answer: Okay. Based off of the answers and close examination of the image, the best answer I believe would be B. 4 sides with 2 sides of 5 is 10, so each times another parallelogram comes in, 10 more units is added on.

The perimeter of a single parallelogram is adding all 4 sides together

The perimeter of the 2 parallelograms side by side are adding the top and bottom and one side for each one, the middle side of each do not get added, so the formula would be l + l +s + l + l + s which is 10+4 + 10 + 4

Where 10 is the sum of the top and bottom of each parallelogram.

So when adding additional parallelograms, you would multiply 10 by the number of parallelograms ( n) to get 10n, then you would need to add the height of each end, which is 4 each so 4 x 2 - 8.

This makes the formula: D.The equation for the perimeter is p=10n+8.
