Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. BC=8 so AD=8. AB = CD....solve for x and find AB and CD.

2x+6 = x+8 --->x=2. AB is 2(2)+6 =10 and CD is also 10 but plug in x to make sure 2+8=10.

The perimeter is 8+8+10+10 = 36

Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, 2x+6=x+8
So that x=2
AB=DC=10
Perimeter=(2)(10)+(2)(8)=20+16=36
