The perimeter of a parallelogram can be calculated using the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
In this case, we can identify the lengths of the sides of parallelogram LMNO:
- Length (LM) = 22 cm
- Width (MN) = 18 cm
Now, substituting the given values into the formula we have:
Perimeter = 2 × (22 cm + 18 cm)
Calculating:
- Adding the lengths: 22 cm + 18 cm = 40 cm
- Multiplying by 2: 2 × 40 cm = 80 cm
Therefore, the perimeter of parallelogram LMNO is 80 cm.
