Vocabulary
Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a figure. To find the perimeter of a figure, add the lengths of all its sides.
Height HeightSide
Base Base
Any side of a rectangle or parallelogram can be chosen as the base. The height is measured along a line perpendicular to the base.

P = 14 + 14 + 5 + 5 Add all side lengths.
or P = 2b + 2h
= 2(14) + 2(5)
Perimeter of rectangle.
= 38 units
= 28 + 10 = 38 units
Substitute 14 for b and 5 for h.
When referring to the measurements of a rectangle, the terms length (l) and width (w) are sometimes used in place of base (b) and height (h). So the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle can be written as
P = 2b + 2h = 2l + 2w = 2(l + w).

8-1 Perimeter & Area of Rectangles & Parallelograms
Area is the number of square units in a figure. A parallelogram can be cut and the cut piece shifted to form a rectangle with the same base length and height as the original parallelogram. So a parallelogram has the same area as a rectangle with the same base length and height.

Area of a rectangle.
Substitute 3 for b and 5 for h.
The height of a parallelogram is not the length of its slanted side. The height of a figure is always perpendicular to the base.
