<PRE><B>Question 94823</B>
You plan to trim the edge of a kite with a strip of red fabric.  The kite is in the shape of a parallelogram with a base measuring 45in. and a side measuring 27in.  Find the lenght of fabric needed to trim the kite.
--------------
You want the length of the perimeter of the parallelogram.
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2*45 + 2*27
P = 90 + 54
P = 144 inches
