How to use this Parallelogram Perimeter Calculator 🤔

  1. Enter ✎ value for length of first of opposite sides (l).
  2. Enter ✎ value for length of second pair of opposite sides (w).
  3. As soon as you enter the required input value(s), the Parallelogram Perimeter is calculated immediately, and displaed in the output section (present under input section).

Formula

To calculate the parallelogram perimeter, you can use the following formula.

\(P = \) \( 2 ( l + w ) \)

Parallelogram Perimeter

Calculation

Once you enter the input values in the calculator, the output parameters are calculated.

Examples

The following examples cover how to calcualte the Perimeter when length of first of opposite sides, and length of second pair of opposite sides are given.

1. What is the Perimeter of Parallelogram whose length of first of opposite sides is 10 units, and length of second pair of opposite sides is 20 units?

Answer

Given:

  • length of first of opposite sides, l = 10 units
  • length of second pair of opposite sides, w = 20 units

The formula to find the Perimeter of a Parallelogram is:

P = \( 2 ( l + w ) \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

P = \( 2 (10+20) \)

P = 60 units

∴ Perimeter, P = 60 units

2. What is the Perimeter of Parallelogram whose length of first of opposite sides is 1 units, and length of second pair of opposite sides is 1 units?

Answer

Given:

  • length of first of opposite sides, l = 1 units
  • length of second pair of opposite sides, w = 1 units

The formula to find the Perimeter of a Parallelogram is:

P = \( 2 ( l + w ) \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

P = \( 2 (1+1) \)

P = 4 units

∴ Perimeter, P = 4 units
