Question

Find the perimeter of the playground shown below, which is in the shape of a parallelogram.

• A. 100 yards
• B. 90 yards
• C. 180 yards
• D. 160 yards

Answer 1

The correct option is C 180 yards

Given:
Length of the playground = 55 yards
Width of the playground = 35 yards

Perimeter of a figure = Sum of all sides

Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, we have:


$\therefore$ Perimeter of the parallelogram
= 55 yards + 35 yards + 55 yards + 35 yards
= 180 yards

$\therefore$ The perimeter of the given playground is 180 yards.
