Answer 2

Check the picture below.

so the top and bottom segments are simply 7 units, we can read that off the grid. Let's find the length of the other two segments, "c".

`\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=√(a^2+b^2) \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{2}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{3}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=√(2^2+3^2)\implies c=√(13) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the parallelogram}}{7+7+√(13)+√(13)}\qquad \approx \qquad 21.21`
