DIRECTION:
Solve for the perimeter of the following shapes.
ANSWER:
For Number Two.
• The given shape is a square. Thus, all the sides are congruent.
• To get the perimeter of a square, you need to multiply the measure of one of the sides by 4.
• To get the area of a square, you need to square, multiply by itself, the measure of one of the sides.

For Number Three.
• The given shape is a parallelogram. Thus, opposite sides are congruent.
• To get the perimeter of a parallelogram, you need to multiply the sum of the length and the width by two.
• To get the area of a parallelogram, you need to multiply the given length and width
[tex] \begin{array}{l} \tt Perimeter=2 \: (5+3) \: \: or \: \: 5+ 5 + 3 + 3 \\ \tt Perimeter=16 \: cm \\ \overline{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: } \\ \tt Area=5×3 \\ \tt Area=15 \: cm² \end{array}[/tex]
