To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, we need to know the lengths of its two adjacent sides. The given lengths of the sides are 5 meters and 6 meters.
The formula for the perimeter [tex]\( P \)[/tex] of a parallelogram is:
[tex]\[ P = 2 \cdot (\text{side1} + \text{side2}) \][/tex]
Here's a step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the lengths of the two adjacent sides. In this case, side1 is 5 meters and side2 is 6 meters.
2. Add the lengths of the two sides together:
[tex]\[ \text{side1} + \text{side2} = 5 + 6 = 11 \][/tex]
3. Multiply the sum by 2 to find the perimeter:
[tex]\[ P = 2 \cdot 11 = 22 \][/tex]
Therefore, the perimeter of the parallelogram is 22 meters.
