Statement 1: Perimeter of a rectangle is 2 (length of one side + length of its adjacent side).
Statement 2: Perimeter of any parallelogram can be given by 2 (length of one side + length of its adjacent side).
Pick the correct option.
Both the statements are true and Statement 1 is a particular case of Statement 2.
The perimeter of any closed figure is equal to the sum of lengths of its sides. So, the perimeter of any parallelogram will be 2 (length of one side + length of its adjacent side), as opposite sides are equal in length.
Perimeter of a rectangle is a particular case of the formula given because all rectangles are parallelograms. In case of a rectangle, one side is length and the adjacent one is breadth. That’s why the perimeter is more generally defined as 2(length + breadth).
