Question 613026: How do I find the perimeter of a parallelogram with a base of 64m and a height of 16m when that is the only information given? I've tried to make a right triangle and find the hypotenuse, but I can't figure out what the bottom leg is. (Jenna age 12 6th grade).

there is not enough information given

it could be a rectangle, or a rhombus, or...

the only thing you can say, is that the minimum perimeter is 64 + 64 + 16 + 16

p ≥ 160
