[size=150][b][color=#0000ff]Find the perimeter and area of the AP1 parallelogram. [/color][/b][/size]
Perimeter = (2 x width) + (2 x height) Area = width x height[br]Perimeter = 2w x 2h Area = w x h[br]Perimeter = 2 (4) + 2 (3) Area = 4 x 3[br]Perimeter = 8 + 6 Area = 12 square units[br]Perimeter = 14 units[br][br]
[size=150][b][color=#0000ff]Find the perimeter and area of the AP2 parallelogram. [/color][/b][/size]
Perimeter = 2w + 2h Area = w x h[br]Perimeter = 2(5) + 2(3) Area = 5 x 3[br]Perimeter = 10 + 6 Area = 15[br]Perimeter = 16
[b][color=#0000ff]Find the perimeter and area of the AP3 parallelogram. [/color][/b]
Perimeter = 2w + 2h[br]Perimeter = 2(6) + 2(5)[br]Perimeter = 12 + 10[br]Perimeter = 22
[b][color=#0000ff]Find the perimeter and area of the AP4 parallelogram. [/color][/b]
Perimeter = 2w + 2h Area = w x h[br]Perimeter = 2(2) + 2(6) Area = 2 x 6[br]Perimeter = 4 + 12 Area = 12[br]Perimeter = 16
[b][color=#0000ff]Find the perimeter and area of the AP5 parallelogram. [/color][/b]
Perimeter = 2w + 2h Area = w x h[br]Perimeter = 2(3) + 2(3) Area = 3x3[br]Perimeter = 6 + 6 Area = 9[br]Perimeter = 12
