The perimeter of a figure is the distance around it. The given figure is a parallelogram. The opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal.
Thus, the length of the sides are 8, 8, 6 and 6. Thus,
Perimeter = 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 28 inches
The formula for determining the area of a parallelogram is expressed as
Area = base * height
base = 8
height = 4 1/5
Area = 8 * 4.2
Area = 33.6 in^2
