Solving for the Perimeter of a Parallelogram
The image contains a mathematics problem that reads as follows:
"If the sides of a parallelogram measure 14 inches and 0.5 yards, what is the perimeter of the parallelogram?
SHOW WORK PLEASE"
To solve for the perimeter of the parallelogram, we need to consider that a parallelogram has two pairs of equal length sides. First, we should convert all measurements to the same unit for easier calculation. Since 1 yard equals 36 inches, 0.5 yards is equal to 0.5 * 36 inches, which is 18 inches.
Now that we have both measurements in inches, we can calculate the perimeter (P) by adding the lengths of all four sides:
P = 2 * (length + width)
P = 2 * (14 inches + 18 inches)
P = 2 * (32 inches)
P = 64 inches
The perimeter of the parallelogram is 64 inches.
