Parallelogram
I researched a drawer in my dresser, which is a rectangle. A rectangle is a polygon with 4 sides. It is also a parallelogram. According to the website www.mathisfun.com, it is called a quadrilateral.
The length of the drawer is 24 inches and the height is 9 inches. If I multiply 24 inches x 2 and then multiply 9 inches x 2, I can add those two products and find the perimeter.
24 inches x 2 = 48 inches
9 inches x 2 = 18 inches
48 inches + 18 inches = 66 inches
