Question

Find the area and the perimeter of a parallelogram with base 5 inches, side 15 inches, and altitude 12 inches?

Answer 1

Area `= 60` sq.in. and perimeter `=40` inches

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is `A=b*h`
Therefore is this case `A = 5*12 = 60`
Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides.
Therefore `P =2*5 + 2*15 = 40`
