Question

A parallelogram has a length of 4 inches and a width of 9 inches, and a height of 5 inches. What is it's area? and what is the perimeter?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=45\text{ square inches} \\ \text{Perimeter}=26\text{ inches} \end{gathered}`

Step by step explanation:

The parallelogram described on the question tab is represented by the following diagram:

The area of a parallelogram is defined by the following formula:

`\text{Area}=\text{base}\cdot\text{height}`

Then, for the area:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=9\cdot5 \\ \text{Area}=45\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}`

For the perimeter:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter}=2Length+2\text{Width} \\ \text{Perimeter}=2(4)+2(9) \\ \text{Perimeter}=8+18 \\ \text{Perimeter}=26\text{ inches} \end{gathered}`
