D.
D52 in
D
C
Step 1: Let b be the length of the base of the parallelogram as well as the rectangle.
Step 2: Area of the parallelogram = 7 × b = 91[Substitute the value of area of the parallelogram.]
Step 3: Length of the base b = 13 in.[Divide each side by 7.]
Step 4: Base length of the rectangle = Base length of the parallelogram = 13 in.
Step 5: Since the parallelogram and the rectangle have equal base and the area, the height of the parallelogram is equal to the width of the rectangle.
Step 6: Width of the rectangle = 7 in.
Step 9: Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
Step 10: [Substitute and simplify.]= 2 × (13 + 7) = 2 × 20 = 40
Step 11: The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 in.
