Answer:

Height = 13.5 cm

Perimeter = 81 cm

Explanation:

The Area of a parallelogram is given as the product of the base and its height.

A = base * height

Area, A = 364.5 cm²

Base, b = 27cm

Height, h =?

Hence,

364.5 cm² = 27cm * h

h = 364.5 cm² / 27cm

h = 13.5 cm

Perimeter of parallelogram :

P = 2(a + b)

a = height of sides ; b = base

P = 2(13.5cm + 27cm)

P = 2(40.5)

P = 81 cm
