Calculate the perimeter of the parallelogram ABCD, given that CD is parallel to AB.
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:
38
