A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides, so its perimeter is twice the sum of the two side lengths.

The math behind it

perimeter = 2(a + b), since opposite sides are equal.

Worked Example

Sides 8 and 5 → perimeter 26.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the angles affect the perimeter?

No — only the side lengths matter for perimeter.
