Question

What is the perimeter of parallelogram ABCD if AB= 5" and BC= 8"?

Answer 1

Answer:

Opposite sides of parallelogram are Equal

AB = CD and BC = DA

Perimeter = AB+ BC+ CD+ DA

= AB + BC + AB + BC

= 2 × (AB+BC) = 2 × (5+8) cm=6.5cm

Answer 2

Answer:

26 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is the distance around the edge of the figure

since the opposite side s of a parallelogram are equal,

perimeter=  2 (l+b)

taking l =BC=8

and b=AB=5

perimeter= 2(8+5)  = 2* 13 =26

hope it helps you

have a good day
