Measure each side, then add the measurements together.

The perimeter is the length around the outside.
With a parallelogram you can either add up all for sides, or you can add up two adjacent sides and multiply by two.
Both will get you the same answer.

In a parralelogram, opposite sides are equal.
Add two adjacent sides, and multiply the sum by 2 to get the perimeter.

measure each side and add them all up.
Perimeter simply means distance around.
You only need to measure two sides, because the properties of parallelograms tell us that opposite sides are congruent.
So the fastest way is to add up two adjacent sides, then double it!

good luck to you!

you can add up all the sides of the parallelogram
or you can find two measurements of nonparallel sides
and multiply both by two and them add them
