Python program to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram | source code

 

what is parallelogram ? :

A four-sided plane rectilinear figure with opposite sides parallel.

Types of parallelogram :

• Rectangle
• Rhombus
• Square

Formula to calculate perimeter of parallelogram :

The perimeter is the sum of the length of all the 4 sides. The perimeter of a parallelogram is the total distance outside the geometrical shape. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and so the perimeter becomes twice the sum of two parallel sides say a and b.

Perimeter= 2 (a + b) units

Python program to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram :

l =float(input("Enter base/length of the parallelogram : "))

w =float(input("Enter width of the parallelogram : "))

perimeter = 2*(l+w)

print("The perimeter of given parallelogram is : ", perimeter)

Output :

Explanation of above code:

l =float(input("Enter base/length of the parallelogram : "))
  w =float(input("Enter width of the parallelogram : ")) 
Here,  l and w is variable that store a decimal value in which l store the value of base/lenght of the parallelogram and w store the value of width of the parallelogram.

perimeter=2*(l+w)
then, perimeter (variable ) store an expression (formula) that store the perimeter of a parallelogram.

print("The perimeter of given parallelogram is : ", perimeter) 
At last we print the perimeter of the parallelogram.
