Calculating Parallelogram Properties

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter and area of a parallelogram. It begins with determining the perimeter by summing the lengths of the sides, emphasizing that opposite sides have equal lengths. The perimeter is calculated as 82.4 feet. The tutorial then moves on to calculating the area using the formula base times height, resulting in an area of 333.56 square feet. The video concludes by verifying the area calculation using a calculator.

What is the first step in determining the perimeter of a parallelogram?

• Sum the lengths of all four sides

• Multiply the base by the height

• Divide the base by the height

• Subtract the height from the base
