Answer:

36

Explanation:

In a Parallelogram , it is important to note that opposite sides are equal to each other.

We are given parallelogram ABCD.

We have sides: AB, BC, CD, AD.

Since opposite sides are equal then:

AB = CD

BC = AD

The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all its sides.

In the question: BC=13 and AB=5

Hence,

AB = CD = 5

BC = AD = 13

Perimeter of Parallelogram ABCD = 5 + 5 + 13 + 13

= 36.
