Question

Find the area and perimeter of
the parallelogram:
17ft
12ft
15ft

Answer 1

Hi there!

Here is your answer...

The Area of the Parallelogram is:

`204ft^(2)`

The Perimeter of the Parallelogram is:

`64ft`

Explanation:

To find the Area of a Parallelogram you must first identify the Base and Height. In this instance the Base would be the top and bottom which we know are 17ft in length. The Height would be the dotted line that we know it 12ft tall. The next step would be to Multiply the Base by the Height. That would give us 204. After we add the correct units we have
`204ft^(2)`.

To find the Perimeter we would simply add together all side lengths. We know that the top and bottom are equal to 17ft and the left and right are equal to 15 feet. This gives us 17+17+15+15. Which would equal 64, add the units and it becomes
`64ft`.

Area=base x height

Perimeter = base + base + angle +angle

(angle is the side length.)
