If the parallelogram is sideways like the small sides are crooked and the bottom lines are straight then you have to add all the sides to get your answer.

Measure any two adjacent sides. Sum them, then multiply by two.
It's the sum of the lengths of all sides that form a parallelogram.
Perimeter is the distance around an object. If we have a parallelogram with a length 12 and width 5, then 5+5+12+12 which is equal to 34. Same with trapezoid, rectangle, triangle, star, etc.

P = 2l + 2w
