Question: A parallelogram has vertices at (-2, -1), (4, -1), (0, 2) and (6, 2). The smaller congruent sides of this parallelogram each have a length of 3.6 units. Calculate both the area and perimeter of the parallelogram. Explain or show how you got your answers.

Answer 1

perimeter= 3.6×2 + 6×2 = 19.2units

Explanation:

Answer 2

longer congruent sides = 6-0 OR 4-(-2) = 6units

perimeter= 3.6×2 + 6×2 = 19.2units

height of parallelogram= 2-(-1) = 3 units

area= 3×6 = 18unit^2
