Question

find the perimeter, in feet, of the parallelogram. 88 feet 68 feet 82 feet 44 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram

The perimeter \(P\) of a parallelogram is \(P = 2(a + b)\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the adjacent sides.

Step2: Identify the side lengths

Here, \(a = 17\) ft and \(b = 27\) ft.

Step3: Substitute into the formula

\(P=2(17 + 27)\)
\(=2\times44\)
\( = 88\) ft.

Answer:

88 feet
