Examples with solutions for Perimeter of a Parallelogram: Applying the formula

Exercise #1

Calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram ABCD, given that CD is parallel to AB.

777121212AAABBBCCCDDD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First we need to remember that pairs of opposite sides in a parallelogram are parallel and equal.

Therefore, AB is parallel to CD and BC is parallel to AD.

From this we can conclude that AB = CD = 7.

Also: BC = AD = 12.

Finally we can calculate the perimeter by adding all the sides together:

7+7+12+12=14+24=38 7+7+12+12=14+24=38

Answer

38

Exercise #2

666444AAABBBDDDCCC

Calculate the perimeter of the given parallelogram:

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

As is true for a parallelogram every pair of opposite sides are equal:

AB=CD=6,AC=BD=4 AB=CD=6,AC=BD=4

The perimeter of the parallelogram is equal to the sum of all sides together:

4+4+6+6=8+12=20 4+4+6+6=8+12=20

Answer

20

Exercise #3

101010777AAABBBDDDCCC

Calculate the perimeter of the given parallelogram.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

As is true for a parallelogram each pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel,

Therefore it is possible to argue that:

AC=BD=7 AC=BD=7

AB=CD=10 AB=CD=10

Now we can calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram by adding together all of its sides:

10+10+7+7=20+14=34 10+10+7+7=20+14=34
