Exercise 2 Page 783

The perimeter of a parallelogram is calculated by adding the lengths of its four sides. The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height.

Perimeter: $76 ft$
Area: $288 ft^{2}$

Practice makes perfect

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where both of the pairs of opposite sides are parallel and congruent. Any side can be called the base of the parallelogram. Its height is the perpendicular distance between any two parallel bases. For the given parallelogram, we will find its perimeter and area one at a time.
