Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Plane Geometry

A parallelogram has a side length of .  It also has a side length of .  Calculate the perimeter. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A parallelogram has four sides and its opposite sides are equal in length.  Therefore, if it has one side length of, it also has another side length of of .  Since we know one of its side lenghts is , then the remaining side is .  We can add all 4 side lengths to calculate the perimeter. 

Example Question #3 : Parallelograms

What is the perimeter of a parallelogram if the base is , the other side is , and the height is ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all four sides or the sum of two times each side length.  The side lengths are  and  so the perimeter is .
