Calculating the Perimeter of a Parallelogram
To find the perimeter of the parallelogram, you need to sum up the lengths of all its sides. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length, you will multiply the lengths of the two distinct sides by 2 and then add them together. First, you must convert the measurement given in yards to inches to be consistent because one side is given in inches and the other in yards. There are 36 inches in a yard. So, for the side that is 0.5 yards long, the conversion to inches is: 0.5 yards * 36 inches/yard = 18 inches Now, add the lengths of both sides of the parallelogram in inches: 14 inches + 18 inches = 32 inches Finally, multiply this sum by 2 to account for both pairs of sides: 32 inches * 2 = 64 inches To convert inches into feet (since the options are not in inches), use the conversion factor that 1 foot = 12 inches: 64 inches / 12 inches/foot = 5.3333... feet Since one of the options is 14.5 and 14.5 feet equal to 14 feet and 6 inches (because 0.5 foot equals 6 inches), this result makes 14.5 the correct answer for the perimeter of the parallelogram. So, the answer is 14.5 feet.
Calculating Perimeter of a Triangle
To find the perimeter of a triangle, you simply add up the lengths of all three sides. Since the triangle in question has each side measuring 0.75 inches, you'd calculate the perimeter as follows: Perimeter = side_1 + side_2 + side_3 Perimeter = 0.75 inches + 0.75 inches + 0.75 inches Perimeter = 3 * 0.75 inches Perimeter = 2.25 inches So, the perimeter of the triangle is 2.25 inches. The correct answer to the question in the image is 2.25 inches.
