Hi Nora,

In the future, please include the class name in the title (I edited it for now).

The key idea here is to remember the definitions of two words:

  1. Perimeter, which is the length around a shape.
  2. Parallelogram, which is a $4$-sided shape with opposite sides parallel. Because of this, parallelograms have a very useful property, which says that the opposite sides of parallelograms have the same length.

Keeping these two ideas in mind should help solve the problem!

Best,

John Lensmire
