Question

find the perimeter. simplify your answer.
10s - 4
6s - 6
6s - 6
10s - 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for parallelogram

A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides. So perimeter \( P = 2\times(\text{length} + \text{width}) \). Here, length is \( 10s - 4 \) and width is \( 6s - 6 \).

Step2: Substitute into formula

\( P = 2(10s - 4) + 2(6s - 6) \)

Step3: Distribute the 2s

\( P = 20s - 8 + 12s - 12 \)

Step4: Combine like terms

\( P = (20s + 12s) + (-8 - 12) = 32s - 20 \)

Answer:

\( 32s - 20 \)
