Step-by-step solution for: FREE Perimeter and Area of Parallelograms, Triangles, and Trapezoids
The image you provided contains a worksheet with problems related to the perimeter and area of parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, and other geometric shapes. Below, I will explain the solutions for each problem step by step.
---
Shape: Parallelogram
Given: Base = 7 cm, Height = 8 cm
Task: Find the perimeter and area.
#### Solution:
1. Perimeter of a Parallelogram:
- Formula: \( P = 2 \times (\text{Base} + \text{Side}) \)
- Here, the base is 7 cm, but the side length is not given. Assuming the side is also 7 cm (as it is a square-like figure in the diagram):
\[
P = 2 \times (7 + 7) = 2 \times 14 = 28 \, \text{cm}
\]
2. Area of a Parallelogram:
- Formula: \( A = \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \)
- Given: Base = 7 cm, Height = 8 cm
\[
A = 7 \times 8 = 56 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Answer:
\[
P = 28 \, \text{cm}, \quad A = 56 \, \text{cm}^2
