hellooooo im having some trouble with a problem... I'm really bad at geo and im sorry for wasting your time, but i really need someone to walk me through:

 

Each vertex of this parallelogram has integer coordinates. The perimeter of this parallelogram is $p$ units, while the area is $a$ square units. What is the value of the sum $p + a$?

 

thank you so much!!! :D

Area = height * base = 4 x 7 = 28 = a

Perimeter = 7 + 7 + 5 + 5 = 24 =p      because the side triangles form a 3 - 4 - 5 right triangle

   Add them together to get 52 units
